This is a great game. It has been around for years. As a child, I had a plastic version. As an adult, I know have a hand made wooden version.
This game is a real brain teaser, yet it is very simple to play and understand. It is a one player game, for children aged 6 up to adult.
I am not going to describe the packaging, as it always varies slightly, but what I can tell you is, it comes in a square, thin box. About the size of a 8 to 10 inch pizza.
The objective of this game, sounds really easy. Do not let this put you off though, it has had me stumped for years.
All you have to do is "hop" one ball over another and remove the ball that has been "hopped" over. Repeat this process, until you are left with one ball, in the center pocket.
The idea of this game, is very simple. The game itself, is not. I have had this game for about 15 years, and have only just completed it.
I found it to be very addictive. I always got so close to completing it, but never could. My children find it frustrating, as they can not do it. They do not want me to show them how to do it either.
If you like simple but challenging games, then this is one for you. It is great value and very enjoyable. It has kept me entertained and going back for more, for years.
If any of you are interested in the sequence of moves, to complete this game, i will gladly let you now. Or shall I live up to my name, and let you all struggle? LOL.
Have fun!!

Review of Solitaire
Advantages: It passes the time, it's a good version of a classic game Disadvantages: It lacks a high score table, varied decks, and is a bit boring really!
