I can't tell you how excited we were to find a mint condition Tripoly game in a special edition tin. However, our excitment was short lived. The seller covered the tin box with about 1/8 thick bubble wrap and two very thin (1/16 in.)insulating board on top and bottom then covered it in plain brown paper. Needless to say the package came dented in 3 places and one corner crushed. We don't have time to return and look for another one. This is a collectable item sold by individuals on Amazon, so I guess we'll try to straighten it as best we can, and put it under the tree anyway. I don't blame the carrier for this one. It is just sad that common sense packaging was not used. You can tell that this was in excellent condition as advertized before shipping. I would not recommend this seller to anyone else.

Tripoley is a fun game especially for large groups. We used to play this on Christmas eve with my sister and her family and always had a blast. Unfortunately, I had ordered this as a gift for my other sister and her family who were spending Christmas at their mountain cabin. Fed Ex sent it around in circles for 2 1/2 weeks and then dumped it on the cabin doorstep after they had already left in January. When I found out what they had done, my sister was able to call someone who lived in the village nearby and they were able to go dig it out of the snow. Since no one has opened it yet, I don't even know if it survived being dumped on their patio. I still don't know why Fed Ex elected to send it in circles in two states instead of deliver it to them while they were there.
