Great game and fun to play. My grandson who is 10 loves it.

This is a simple game that can be enjoyed by the young and old. I personally got this game to play with my mother who suffers from Alzheimer's.To play the game you start with all of the numbers flipped up and then you roll the dice. You then flip down the numbers that equal the total of the dice (e.g., roll a 9, you can flip down the 9, 7&2, 4&3&2, etc.) You continue to roll until you can't flip down the total shown on the dice. The total of the numbers not flipped is your score. If you are playing with other people, you keep track of the score and the highest score loses. This is a travel size so the case and dice are small as well as the small padded area to roll the dice. The wooden box and numbers appear to be well made and should last for years.I will probably swap out the dice and use the table to roll the dice for my mom as her eyes aren't great and I don't think she will be able to see the dice, but she can still use the flipping numbers. I am hoping to make this a fun activity (game) that helps her work on her memory and basic math skills.The same logic would apply to younger kids who are learning math and the dice would be the perfect size for small hands. And the travel size makes it easy to throw in a carryon bag to entertain the kids while waiting for a flight.

Love the size! Perfect little game to keep with you for times when you are bored. Nice break from playing games on the phone. I'm putting this in my car to entertain the grandkids during a long drive we have coming up. While the quality it decent, I don't think it's sturdy enough to hold up to years of play. Very nice price for what you get though.
