Poor design and uninteresting game

As others have said, the game elements do not match the description of the game and the instructions provided. Looks like they switched to a very cheap version of the original game but kept the original instructions. The instructions say the plastic coins are orange and green so they can be easily separated into upper and lower multiplication tables, which would be very helpful! But unfortunately they are all yellow. The "watercolor pens" that come with the game don't even appear when you try to write with them on the included "slates" (which are basically small pieces of laminated cardboard). Also, out of 100 number coins, only half are numbers that actually appear in the multiplication table, many of which are prime numbers (which is even generous, since I'm including 11x the table numbers and this game only needs to be for 1-10x tables). There are no repeating numbers in multiplication table like 6, 8, 12, 18, 24 etc. Because of this the game is very time consuming and frustrating for kids as they keep drawing numbers that are not true. even in multiplication tables. I am a teacher and was hoping to use this game for my class, but the way the game is structured is difficult to understand and start and the game will take a long time. Since only 4 players can play at once, I can never let all of my students play the game, even if they can stick around long enough to finish it. I'm worried it won't hold up well enough to be used. All parts are cardboard and coin pouches are a very cheap material that is likely to fall apart quickly. I wanted learning multiplication to be fun, and this game is the opposite. Very disappointed, wish I had returned it while I had the chance.
