I purchased this game for my grandson because I remembered how much I loved playing it myself as a child. I was disappointed when I received it and found out that it was more or less a travel sized version of the one I used to have. It's not pocket sized, but it is only about 8" square. It uses small plastic balls about 1/2" in diameter; not the real marbles that the original version had. It is still a good game and plays the same as it did years ago, but if I had known that it wasn't like the original, I wouldn't have paid the price for it.

I remember playing this game as a child and enjoyed the fun. This new version of the game seems durable. I was dissappointed though as it is quite a bit smaller than the original version and has plastic marbles. There are not so many holes and not as many combinations. Still if you are looking for a game the is close to the original this is what they came up with. The kids do enjoy watching the marbles fall.

This review is from: Stay Alive (Toy)
I have the old game from a different manufacturer. I am assuming this game is probably rather small, about the size of Winning Moves' Roller Bowl and King of the Hill games (both fun). It is a lot of fun for adults and children. I think the small size would still be a lot of fun. The game is made of horizontal and vertical slats. These slats have occasional holes. You start by placing your marbles in the slats. Each turn you move one slat one notch. When holes in both slats line up, the marble falls through. I am rating it a five because it is one of my favorite family games. I don't play it for educational value, but it is educational for my niece and nephews. (The kids AND my sister like it.) You can't see where the underlying holes are exactly, but you can do some predicting. If one space away the vertical and horizontal slats both have holes, then I can anticipate how to move one of those slats to make an adjacent marble fall. I can plan ahead to protect my marbles. The educational value is in critical thinking, and critical thinking, not just memorization, is an important skill for life. But buy this game for the fun.
