Mattel KerPlunk Kids Game, Easy-to-Learn Family Game for 2 to 4 Players, Don’t Let The Marbles Fall
Original price was: $18.35.$13.30Current price is: $13.30.
Ker Plunk! is a blast from the past with a cool look and attitude! The object of the game is to skillfully remove the sticks from the tube while dropping the fewest marbles possible. The translucent tube stands upright on a base that contains four separate numbered trays. Each player selects a numbered compartment to use throughout the game, and the straws are passed through holes midway of the tube to form a lattice ‘web.” The marbles are then placed in the top of the tube and held in place by the web. Just set it up, start playing and watch out for marbles that go “Ker Plunk!” The players must use steady hands and a cool head to remove the sticks from below the marbles. This best game from yester-year is just as much fun today! Share your great memories or start new ones! You and your friends will have a blast playing Ker Plunk!, just don’t let the marbles fall! For 2 to 4 players.

Good value
This was bought for our elementary game club. The kids had fun with it and it was easy for them to learn. The only downfall was they got frustrated putting the sticks in because after a few it was hard for them to get them to go all the way across. I ended up buying a plastic box to keep the game in for the durability aspect.

Simple, fun, and perfect for all ages
This game is super fun and easy for anyone to jump into, which makes it perfect for family nights or casual get-togethers. The rules are simple, but the suspense as the marbles start to shift adds a great layer of excitement — especially with more players.It’s a nice mix of luck and light strategy, and the quality of the parts feels solid and built to last. A great classic that still holds up and gets everyone laughing. Definitely one we’ll keep in the rotation!

Its a Fun Version of Kerplunk.
Bought this game as a special surprise for my 6 year old Daughter since she is starting to play board games . I figured this game would help her with following directions since she seems to have an issue in that department and help her develop strategic thinking. So far since we have been playing this game she has improved in both of those departments! Lol this game is such an easy game to play with a 6 year old and definitely fun ! I actually like this version of kerplunk more than the original, because you have the whole tube to put sticks in and you don’t have the sound of heavy marbles crashing down when you pull the wrong sticks ! So this version is definitely something you could play in a room around a napping baby or a baby that is sleeping in another room (well at least around my sleeping baby) . As far as Storage if you want it to fit in it’s box you have to completely take it appart to get it back in there. my husband didn’t want to put it together and take it appart every time we wanted to play the game so we just leave it together and all the sticks and monkeys are put in a plastic zip bag that we stuff inside the tree tube . however since the game isn’t in a box anymore and it kinda looked like clutter on my living room shelf so I decided to buy a few of those cloth storage cubes for shelves and keep it in one of those. Overall my family seems to really enjoy playing this game and I would definitely recommend this to others !

Retro fun
Fun like I remembered it being when I was young. But it seems like it’s more cheaply made than it used to be. I’m not happy with the fact it was delivered with the box pretty well crushed… I’m surprised the game was undamaged.

This game is the best. I bought it as a Christmas present for my granddaughter and I also owned one as a child. I’m very satisfied with this item.

Still fun, but the poor execution bums me out.
I’m seeing a lot of other reviews about the flimsiness of the sticks. I second that, but for me and my five-year-old, it hasn’t been a deal-breaker. My biggest gripe is with the tower and its base.You are supposed to rotate the entire base between turns, so that any marbles that drop out land in the tray of the player who pulled the last stick. However, the tower doesn’t rotate without a fair amount of force. The plastic tower just sits rather snugly in the plastic base, so it’s just plastic-on-plastic friction when you rotate, often resulting in marbles being shaken free between turns. One of the thrills of the game used to be leaving marbles JUST ready to drop, but if you that happens with this set, you’ll almost certainly shake those marbles loose as you try to rotate the tower.Further, the trays in the base aren’t big enough! Each tray should be able to accommodate all the marbles. Sometimes a player makes a very unlucky pull and almost all the marbles fall at once. This should be part of the fun! However, with this version, the marbles just get stuck in the tower because the tray can’t hold them all. So annoying.Oh, and the box is just terrible. Once you’ve assembled the game, it doesn’t fit in the box anymore, and if you’re not very careful, the marbles and sticks just slip right out of the box when you stack it with other games.

Finishing of the coloured sticks not so great…My boy got scratched by the not smooth finishing along the sticks …Although they were just minor scratches but for a child product….It is badly finished…I would say
