Review on Purple Cow Magnetic Travel Solitaire by Marco Wilson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fun game barely working

My kids (6 and 8 years old) are familiar with peg solitaire but I couldn't find one with the small plastic pegs and flip top that they are used to. I bought this for a long trip as it is "ideal for travel". Well, you buy two halves of a cheap metal box that have to be held together with a plastic clip to form a board. They do NOT stay together at all which leads to a lot of frustration. Magnets are flat circles that you punch out of perforated sheet metal. A little hard to get off the board but not that bad. My kids often play this game for an hour or so (during my physical therapy sessions) but one of them didn't play at all and the other put it down after one use. Do yourself a favor and spend more for a better design.

Pros
  • Perfect for traveling
Cons
  • Quality
