Too expensive for what you get

I use the game so thought I should give some stars but I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to others. The only reason I'm not returning it is because it's cheap and not worth my time. Two main issues: upon arrival and delivery in the envelope, the metal was bent on one side and had a permanent dent. I've pulled out the metal so it's almost flat, but it remains uneven. No wonder it's bent, given how exposed it was packaged. Second, the game pieces are made of cardboard glued with a magnetic…

Pros
  • Entertaining
Cons
  • Crumpled

It fits, but I won't buy it again

2.5 stars. It would be a good choice if the puzzles were better. Instead of being a puzzle based on animals and their houses, this is more of a puzzle based on matching the color of the ground and sky for both sides. Please see the picture. For example, do sheep go in the stall or in the stall? A bird doesn't belong in a tree - it belongs in a nest. And when a cow is mated to a cowshed—not a stall. No stable. And certainly not a kennel that, if you can't read, looks like a barn. My 5 year old…

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Matches

Reliable, easy to play and fun!

In my search for travel games I came across a range of cheaply made (and inexpensive) magnetic games.

I just ordered two to start. Hangman and this game Tic-Tac-Toe/4 in a row. I enjoy making fun entertainment in restaurants that is NOT electronics related and can be interesting for all ages. I was so happy when I…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • No vending machine

Fun travel game in Travel Games

I played this game with my 7 year old son who loved it and wanted to play it again and again. He enjoys being a code maker. The box is made of metal, beautiful and thin, which is ideal for travel. It doesn't take up much space. The lids are easy to remove and put back together. There are 6 different colored magnets to create several different codes. There are black and white rectangular magnets used to provide clues to the cracker. The creator of the code places a white magnet if it's the right

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Easy maintainability
