4.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Book on Jacks, September 6, 2000

By	Sourdough (Hawaii) - See all my reviews

A very easy to read book with many illustrations that covers some basic games with Jacks... onies, twoies etc. Easy enough for an 8 year old to read and follow, though not an exhaustive collection of games with Jacks. The included brightly colored cloth bag and lightweight multi colored metal jacks and ball made this a nice and complete gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Originally bought jacks for grandkids..., September 9, 2008

By	SAL E (Reno,NV) - See all my reviews

I originally bought this book for the "real" metal jacks that were included.
All I could find before was some gigantic plastic jacks.
As I was teaching my grandkids how to play using the "real" jacks, I became addicted to playing jacks again!! What fun!
Fellow Baby-boomers, listen up...is your eye-hand coordination faltering?? This is a great way to get some of that coordination back!
Grandpa is going to teach the grandkids how to play marbles.
I see some challenges in jacks and marbles on the playground (backyard)in the very near future! Now where is my favorite "shooter"?

1.0 out of 5 stars book only, no jacks, June 2, 2009

By	Mom x 3 (Arizona) - See all my reviews

I bought this book from Amazon in used condition but 'like new'. Little did I realize or even think about that it didn't come with the jacks and ball. Now I have to try to find the right size jacks (not jumbo ones) and a ball. I guess you get what you pay for!
