Great game with unusual potholing theme
Good game with an unusual theme, plenty of excitement and frustration. Good for adults and children. Simple, well written rules. Does encourage role playing if players get deep into the game.

Poor build quality
A fiver for a carved wooden item must be good value, yes? However within days of light, gentle use the small metal rivet
acting as a door stop for the curved door came out, due to a crack/split around it's retaining hole, rendering it loose. Also, the small round ash catcher/cone stand fell out during a routine emptying operation into a dirty, unhealthy garbage bin and could not be recovered.
I can manage without the small cone stand and I have replaced the door stop with a larger brass screw.
At around £5, I cannot nor will not formally complain, however it's cheap price is clearly reflected in it's poor
quality. It's not the end of the world and I feel a little stupid even mentioning it!!

Educational and often quite tense as scores mount up.
A real Gem of a game. So simple to learn and play. All that is required is knowledge of the rules and scoring, 6 dice, a score pad and some pencils.
For adults it is good "push your luck" dice rolling/scoring...tense and exciting as you try just "once more" to further advance your score, despite overwhelming odds telling you not to risk it!!
For young children, it is a fantastic way to learn Maths and how to apply those maths into real success stories. (High scores). The game would not be out of place in a Junior/Infant school corriculum and would, no doubt prove a popular tool for both the teachers and pupils. Applying Maths to aid goals and targets is a principal that will echo through young lives and would be well grasped by pupils playing this game.
Very Highly Recommended
