Title: And if the top is worthless?
Product review: How much fun can you have with this game when the top is worthless? Like many other reviewers, I played this game with friends for hours a day when I was a boy. We even kept a running total of the points, with the winner the first to 1000. Now that I have a son, I thought it'd be great to introduce him to a game I enjoyed, a game that doesn't require batteries or the TV. I set it up, wound the string, and ..... NOTHING! I tried 20-30 times but the top ended up on it's side, upside down or even when right side up, it never got out of the first bay. I tried setting the board on a slant. Still nothing. I tried using cotton string as another reviewer suggested. Nothing. The instructions suggest moving the top down on the dowel. Couldn't even do that, the top is lacquered onto the dowel. It's stuck like glue. Pretty frustrated! I guess I'll have to head out to the workshop and MAKE my own top!Very disappointed!
