Buffalo Games: SkeeBall The Classic Arcade Game

Hard to get on the board

My son loves skeeball and was so excited for this. He bought it with his birthday money. Less than 24 hours later the back broke off and will now not stay on. Looking at other reviews, it seems that this is a common problem.

I never write reviews but felt I should with this one. Super cute idea. My kids were really excited to play it however after only a few times playing all the white pieces starting popping out of the back, making it not so much fun. For the price I would have thought it was a higher quality.

Super fun game for all ages. We had eight-year-olds all the way to 85-year-olds playing this game together.

Didn't last 5 minutes. The white plastic clips that snap each piece into place essentially don't "snap" so there is no hold. Everything falls out and you can't snap it back together. Seems like this is a pretty recent widespread issue according to other reviews. That's you bad. It would be a fun little game otherwise.

Missing the wooden balls and construction for back flap to hold up the game board was extremely cheap and flimsy. Fell apart easily.

I love it

The back of the stand does not stay up it broke

I gave this as a gift to my grandson and the balls were missing. My daughter reached out to the company who said they would send the balls, but nothing has been received.

It's a little floppy, feels a bit cheap for the price. kids haven't played with it again since christmas.

I so want to like this Skee-ball game and write a positive review, but it's not worth the cost at all and not a purchase I recommend. The game itself and the balls are terrible quality and poorly made. The wood balls aren't even round, they are rough, splintered, more egg shaped than spherical, and grooved/warped. The game is mostly thin plastic and wood, but the plastic pieces are so fragile. The sticker on the first one we bought came applied upside down, and the second one we bought had a sticker that was so bubbled and not aligned properly with the rectangle spot it's supposed to be placed in. The plastic frame also was popped out and warped so that the piece that needs to snap in to hold the ramp in place was unable to work. The first one was also dirty and scuffed as if it had been played with, and so was the second one. We ended up buying a third one finally because my kid is obsessed with Skee-ball and REALLY wanted one for at home, so we settled on that one but it also has some defects and looks played with and used straight out of the box as well. I will give it some credit that it does fold up flat for storage and it doesn't take up a lot of room, the score pad is a cute touch with the "official" game instructions, and it has the kid appeal. The wood frame is fairly sturdy, but that is about it. Getting the frame to stand up and stay up is a challenge because of the thin plastic support piece, the balls don't really roll well due to their misshapen construction, and I'm unsure how long it will last. For a toy/game that's nearly $30, I expect better quality than this. The fact all 3 we purchased (2 in store and 1 online) shared the same lack of quality, I feel urged to tell others looking to buy this for their Skee-ball loving kids to reconsider. My child seems to be okay with it because simply it's Skee-ball, but I'm disappointed in the purchase for sure.

This would be cute but it is made pretty poorly. We get a few minutes of fun before the little screws fall out

so the game itself is fun to play. Quality is poor for price payed. I opened the box two white buttons csme out turns out they are both to secure stand. unfortunately I tried to put them back in they keep popping off. so i ended up taping them on The rest look like they are glued on. This was a $34.00 item on sale for 29.99 due to quality it's still was overpriced. maybe 15 dollars worth only. I was hoping to be giving a great review. we were so excited to open the box.

Broke only after a few games! Poorly made. The stand won't stay up, the other parts starred to also come apart. Don't purchase!

Sadly my grandchildren weren't even able to play the game because it esentually fell apart. The stand kept faling off and the holes for the pegs were too big, the middle cup just kept falling off. It was sad because they love playing Skee Ball at arcades.

Grandkids love it !

The stand won’t stay on. Horribly constructed.

I never received it and target wouldn't even refund me. they said they know it was delivered.

My kid absolutely loves skee-ball. We opened it today so we could play and within the first few rolls, the cups started to pop off and the back support piece is extremely flimsy and the board kept falling down. Given the balls themselves are wooden, we both knew it had to be rolled gently and even gently everything kept popping off. I was really looking forward to him loving this present but sadly it wasn’t what I was hoping for it to be.

Was actually pretty impressed with the quality !
