Title: Marble and engineering fun!
Product review: My 5-yr old received this as a gift and it's the only thing he said he received from Santa, when asked, and he got it from my sister - it's such a hit, he can't get his story straight or think of another gift he received for Christmas! He is a train nut, loves to build marble runs with blocks, train tracks, matchbox car tracks - anything he can get his hands on that enhance the marble run. The fun in this game for him (and the frustration because he has to be patient) is to build the trap during the course of the game. We haven't cut right to the chase; rather we've drawn out the anticipation. I agree that the cardboard cheese pieces could be better constructed but so far we haven't had any issues with the rest of the pieces. If the trap doesn't work right, it teaches children to go back, look at their work, and problem-solve where the glitch might be. I think this is a hidden educational game, fun for the family.
