Review on ๐Ÿ€ Franklin Sports Arcade Basketball Game - Indoor Shootout for 2 Players - Electronic Scoreboard and 4 Mini Basketballs Included by Ray Gist

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fun! But you also need space in the storage position

3-1/2 stars. This Franklin Sports arcade basketball game was a hit with M 20 year olds and a good replacement for our standard board. Game/card game after dinner. It took 2 people about 45 minutes to assemble and had to be disassembled and reassembled a few times as the instructions are not very clear. Once assembled, the whole piece wobbles a bit - you can't lean on it or fall in or you'll break it. You need 3 AAA batteries to play. The on/off switch is located under the battery compartment. This game is probably intended for young children and while bigger children and adults enjoy playing, the long range makes it easy to throw the balls in the basket. However, if you start on time, you'll be missing out quite a bit, despite the long-range benefits. In general, this is a fun game for adults too. Storage is an issue. While the manufacturer says the product folds up for storage, what they mean is that the back is flat, not the front. When folded, this piece is still 28 inches deep. I was planning to keep it in a storage closet, but I don't have such a space. I recommend having 2 people move the part to keep it from twisting/wobbling and damaging it.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not bad
