Great classic game, classic fun!  It is as fun as I remember.  The whole family plays it and it does help with improving counting skills.  The only downside is that our youngest daughter has a breakdown every time she has to bring a piece home.  She is 2!  The worst part is that the box is really cheap feeling and looking... it isn't even a normal game box.  It is one where you open one side and slide the game out.  WHO DOES that to a board game??  Seriously, this game has been around for so long, doesn't it warrant a tin collector's case.
