We had children from 6 to 14, plus adults, and everyone played. The kids and adults! Players also appreciate that it comes with different sets of balls so they can play anywhere. The dice are the perfect size, great quality and really loved the dry eraser scoreboard and travel bag.

They corners are all rounded and the sides are smooth. Reviewers rave about how nice this Connect 4 set looks, which is probably why many users deem it good enough to use during special occasions. Only bad thing I have is the noise of the falling pucks as that means we cannot play after the little one is in bed as we would likely wake her up, but that is minor, to say the least. Reviewers are really impressed with how durable this Jenga set is. To a person, everyone has had a lot of fun and gets very wrapped up in the game.

The rules are simple, the equipment is made to last — if you are looking for a semi-active game to bring to the beach, family barbecue, or even company picnic, this is it! One of them took a roll off the picnic bench onto concrete, only took a small scuff. Dozens of reviewers say this game is great to play in the water. It is larger than I envisioned, but very lightweight and carries nicely in the bag that comes with the game. Dozens of reviewers specifically used these potato sacks for outdoor parties and describe them as great fun.
