With dozens of playing options, this classic-looking set of 8 wooden nesting boxes and 8 bouncy balls is awesome at home or away. Beginners might want to start with the suggested games printed on the sides of each box. But once you've figured out the basic play possibilities, there's no end to the play configurations! Let's look at the challenge from Box 2: the Rolling Target Game. Simply set up the boxes in descending order, with the smallest upside down as a target basket. Looks simple, huh? But it takes a steady hand to succeed! Get the ball bouncing down each successive box and you'll know you won. The acoustic design of Box & Balls sounds like a wooden xylophone! Select a bounce game and use the numbers on the boxes for scoring; the smaller the box, the more difficult the shot, the higher the number. As skills grow, simply increase the level of difficulty just by decreasing target box size. —description from the publisher
