At first glance it seemed almost too simple, as if it were just going to be chaos and luck and not feel like a real game, however before we knew it, we were playing intense games of strategy and skill! It's super addictive and I love that even if all seems lost in the beginning of a game, there's always a chance you can make your way back for the win!
Dropped 1 star because unlike the original i played all those years ago, this set does not have a rotating cover to secure all the discs during storage. As such, when you tilt the box on its side, all discs will scatter everywhere in the box. No big deal really but would of made it perfect.
After browsing various other sellers, I chose to buy from the Ideal Store due to the price point, next day delivery and other positive reviews. The product was delivered as expected. Packaging was good and unlike some other buyers’ experience, there were no damages to the outer as well as the inner boxes.
The board is neither too strong, nor too flimsy. It can withstand normal day to day handling. The felt pad is sufficient and makes the frequent picking and placing of the disks easier. The overall size of the package is also not too big so can be carried on picnics or stored discreetly at home, and really does not require a lot of space to setup and play.
My 4 year old son didn’t enjoy the game first but a couple of months down the line now, he considers himself an expert and cannot live without playing with his mom or I at least once a week. It also keeps him occupied and distracts from being glued to the television set.
Overall, a winner. Go for it if you are still thinking about it.
Hope this review was helpful in some way.
I have played the original Classic version for 30 years and the board gets regular use in my family, still going strong.
I like the way that the disks with this new classic set sit nicely in their places compared to the original Classic version which has a flat board more like a chess set. The other difference is that this version doesn't have a cover to keep the disks in place when not in use. This isn't really a problem as long as you look after the box and everything is kept face up in its box when not in use.
The game itself is fun to play and very simple to learn and ideal for everyone young and old.
