Super fun game and beautifully made. I purchased the large size to have at my home during the holidays when family was here. After playing it (a gazillion times), I purchased the smaller one for grandkids to take home. Not only lots of fun but a great learning game. We watched in real time my four-year-old granddaughters addition skills explode...all while laughing.
