Fun game. A cross between bocce ball and horse shoes but unique in its own way. Played with 7 and 9 year-old kids, teens, and adults. Played on sand at the beach, long grass, and short grass. Each surface has its own speed and variations. Rules and scoring are simple. The wood nicks and gets small dents and surface scratches, but that's to be expected of normal use. The numbered sides add some strategy depending on if your rollers typically fall to the right or left. Getting rollers to stay standing upright (for 7 pts!) is really hard but fun when it happens. The best is getting the roller to stop and lean right up against the tower! I bought 2 extra roller sets (purple/orange) so 4 players can play at once. I feel like 6 players or more might be a little crowded, but certainly doable.
The plastic carrying bag ripped wide open on the top by the handle when lifting so it's not very useful anymore. I did have 6 extra rollers tucked in so the added weight probably played into that!
I suggest they create a "deluxe" version that includes a wooden carrying box and 4 roller sets.
***UPDATE***
Customer Service saw my review and reached out proactively to offer a replacement carrying bag, free of charge. Excellent service! The replacement bag is the same as the original...it's a little bit thin for the weight of the wooden set + 6 extra rollers that I put in it. A small recommendation would be to upgrade the bag to a thicker, more canvas-y material, but that also adds to the sales price. In any case, the game is what matters, and it's a lot of fun and a great backyard, group game!
