So frustrating - Leisure Sports & Game Room

Well that's disappointing, especially for the price range. That has to be the *most annoying* build I've ever encountered. The instructions were often confusing and even WRONG, missing washers and screws, and some of the illustrations were completely useless. I can't tell you how many times I've had to go back and undo certain steps due to inaccurate instructions, and at the very end they completely missed an important step. I had to find out for myself. This guide is just terrible. The game is really fun to play, although not perfect. Often a scorer scores points even before the ball has flown. Keeping track of who got that many extra points is distracting. The game is also much shorter than I expected. It's perfect for my 8 year old but I'm 5ft 8" and have to bend down a lot to play without throwing balls over my back. The pictures are somewhat misleading and models should be relatively short. The last thing I should mention is that the pins (which allow the set to fold up and get out of the way when removed) constantly slide out of the page and the entire frame moves around during gameplay. I had to put an old broken flat screen TV behind it to keep it from moving and that helps a bit with the pins. In general, the game is fun, but the frame itself is not of very good quality. Directions need to be completely revised. I expected better.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are nuances
