   Bottom line: For a few days it was the most popular game in our home.

   Pros: Fun, easy enough for kids to play, just hard enough not to be too easy

   Cons: As others have pointed out, the spin dial that determines the number of steps would have been better separate from the box. I understand the need to stay in line with the original in this version, but it is a drawback. Also, the board which folds into a quarter of its size, tears along the fold-lines over time. I still gave 5 starts, but it is on the bottom end of the 5th star because of these issues.

   It’s a fun game to play with children. The board is nicely laid out.

   Same game as always. Yes, you can buy the new one for about $6.00 at the local big box store. This one was for nostalgic purposes so it was worth the extra amount. I wish the game came with more player pieces for more players but it’s standard to come with 4. Fun and easy to play.

   It’s a fun family game and easy for little kids to pick up. The spinner was a pain. It kept falling apart and sometimes it’s hard to tell which number it’s pointing to. We put a wire (you can easily get one on bread bags from supermarket) through the holes and bended it on both sides. Now the spinner stays in place.

   The box arrived damaged in 3 places. It’s not a big deal since the game will work but no one likes to start out with a damaged box.

   Brings back childhood memories. Quality seems the same as I remember, and that game went through a lot! 👍👍

   This game is a perfect board game for a younger children family. My husband has fond memories of this game when he was little so I decided to add it to our game collection, recently. We really enjoyed playing it this weekend. My kids are 8 years old and 4 years old. They loved it and so did their parents. Spinning the spinner was the best part. Highly recommend.

   Great for my two 3 year olds! Love the reward and consequence principles that it introduces, on top of helping them with counting and just general game playing skills. The game moves quickly, so it holds their attention span pretty well. My kids are also learning how to be gracious losers – a great benefit of board games!
   There are minimal pieces to break and lose – also a bonus. I suspect that the spinner on the number wheel won’t hold up very long, but altogether I’m very glad we got this game.

   This is a classic game for a reason! It has stood the test of time. Easy enough for kids of all ages , but still exciting for older kids (that long shoot’s a doozy!) Helps to teach patience by waiting to take your turn, and also number awareness and counting. This is one game you can actually enjoy playing with your kids : )

    As some others have said, wayyyyyyyy better than the new offering. My grandchildren have the new version and it’s TERRIBLE!!! This is sturdy and reminds me of what I had when I was younger. Save your money and frustration… avoid the new one and just get this one instead.

    The game would have been rated much higher if the spinner worked. The spinner is very important to the game, as it tells you how many spaces to advance in the game. No matter what we did, we could not get it to work. As a result, our grandchildren lost interest in playing. We were so excited about buying this game so that we could enjoy it with them. Considering it was a $33.39 purchase. I would have expected a better quality spinner, as part of this game. It was a waste of money.
