Title: Thinking of buying this game . . . STOP!
Review: Anyone that played Rebound as a child remembers how fun it used to be, whether playing against a friend, parent, or just playing around on your own. THIS IS NOT THE GAME YOU REMEMBER! Sure, it's the same "game", but what comes out of the box is not what you remember.First, the game board comes in two pieces, not the smooth, solid single board that the older version had. This means the playing pieces hit a noticeable drop at each seam.Second, the playing pieces aren't the heavy, smooth rolling pieces of the old set. These are lighter and don't track straight even on the kitchen table.Finally, because of its construction the playing surface isn't level, and skill or no, it's nearly impossible to aim your shots like you could in the old game. It's frustrating, even for my older kids.The game I bought my kids has been repacked and is going back to the store. Save your money on this one.
