Great game for wide age range

This is such a fun game for the littles. The target age is 2 to 6 years old. It’s easy to put together, play, and store away. It is great for building hand strength, focus and hand eye coordination. Kids love it!

Fun game

Fun game for the whole family, even my two year old can play with us. Made well, I love that the stand is plastic. Children do need help getting the ice blocks to fit in the last row. But easy for an adult.

Game a 3 & 7 year old can play together

Both my 3 year old grandson & 7 year old sister love this game. They had fun playing together & it’s hard to find a game they can play together with conflicting attention span & skill sets.

Not as sturdy as the original version. Legs keep falling off wish they were part of the base and not removable. Will probably glue them in place

Childhood favorite!

This was a childhood favorite for my husband and I. We really wanted to bring back some nostalgia and show our kids some games we liked to play. This is also educational as we homeschool our kids. Counting, strategy, team play, taking turns and overall having fun!
