Skillmatics Strike 7 Outdoor Game - Aim, Dodge, And Stack To Victory, Fun For The Whole Family, Great Gift For Ages 6 And Up, Multicolor, Kids

Played this game with the entire family on a vacation and we had an absolute blast! The gameplay is very exciting - you have to strike the tower of blocks and build it back while your opponents try to tag you with the ball!

Bought for my grandkids had to buy a second one. They enjoyed so much neighborhood bought

We haven't played this game yet in a group setting, but my son & I have played it together taking turns knocking down stacks of blocks with different balls we have (besides the blue one included with the game.) I like that it's challenging since the blocks are pretty small (as is the ball that the set comes with) which makes it more fun for me & my 8-year old! It definitely makes players be active whether you play it in a group or just take turns trying to knock down the blocks...since you're having to chase after the ball(s) over & over while continually trying to knock the blocks down (which is more difficult than you might think!)So the challenge of it is nice for older kids & it keeps players (young & old) active & on their toes! It's a nice, simple outdoor party/picnic/BBQ game to help tire kids out if they're all "hopped up" on sugary desserts/soda lol. Plus it gets any adults active who may be playing it as well! :)I think what would've been nice though, if there had been 2 different sets of blocks in this game...a set of smaller blocks & a set of larger blocks, so that you'd have that variety of "difficulty" levels for different ages of children...and to make it a bit more interesting by having 2 sizes of blocks to choose from for an "easier" game or a more "difficult" game, or even mixing different sizes of blocks together. Having a rainbow of colors of blocks in the set would've been more colorful & fun for kids as well, where you could've had certain colored blocks be worth "more points" if you knocked those over, etc...just so a family could create a few different versions of this game if they wanted to, which would keep it lively & interesting year after year. Children could get more creative with it too...coming up with different rules/versions for the game, depending on the ages of the kids playing it & whichever rules the kids could come up with or wanted to play by, etc.But at least the blue blocks & blue ball are my son's favorite color lol. I just think they could've done a bit more with this set to make it more versatile & colorful is all. We have other "Skillmatics" games from this company & they're all mostly colorful, fun, interesting games that we're happy with, but I think this particular one they could've done a bit more with it, but we still have enjoyed playing it so far! I do like that it's an "active" game for playing outdoors (or you could even play it indoors in a hallway.)Some of the blocks were a bit slightly scratched already just upon opening the package, but that doesn't matter to me since they're getting played with outside anyways & it's just a game for kids. The blue ball is a good size for small hands, & the smaller size of it also makes it harder to knock the blocks over, so the challenge of it makes it more interesting & active of a game. (You can always choose to use a larger ball if you want to make the game easier for a toddler, or add your own blocks to it if you have any, just to change up the game or make it easier for a younger child by using larger blocks, etc.)Overall, it's a nice, simple outdoor game for being active & you can always expand on it by using balls/blocks of your own of different sizes & colors & creating different versions of this game! :)

I must not have read the description carefully enough. This game requires at least 4 players. So my 3 kids can't play it outside without me or a friend over. I wish there were directions for a two player game.

Fun game for everyone giftable worth the money easy to learn

This is a fun game that takes very little space. It’s great for traveling. We’ve played it both inside and outside. Kids love building a tower then seeing how quickly they can destroy it. Great way to get some energy out after traveling days. We keep it in our rv.
