WE Games Metal Jacks Game, Retro Game with 2 Sets of Metal Jacks and Ball in ...

i am partial to old wood antique childrens games, i bought the boxed jax because of the wood old fashioned look. and the look was exactly what i wanted. as far as the jax, they are just like what i grew up with, the nice metal jax that you did not want to step on! i got them mostly for looks, however i got my neices playing with me, and now i am hoping jax have a come back with the younger generation, as it did seem to hold their attention and they played them several times and really enjoyed it. only one disappointment, the jax were 5 silver and 5 gold, i was hoping for a full set of 10 each. i could be wrong but i believe a full set is 10, so its like to half sets (5 ea color) but together they make one set. it does also have two bouncy balls. overall its 5 stars.

Everything I have ever ordered from this game maker has been good quality and a good value for the money. This set comes in a nice stained wooden case with a flip up lid and magnetic closure, which is nice to make it harder for the jacks to spill out accidentally. Some reviewers mentioned that the jacks are lighter weight than ideal. And I have to agree. I remember them being heavier back in the day. However, virtually every set I saw on the market today is made with this same material. Unless you find a vintage set in eBay, I think this is what you get. It had been so many years since I played, I was happy to see that this set came with easy to understand instructions about how to play. My husband and granddaughter really got a kick out of playing it. I can see us using this for many years to come.

I attended my grandson’s grandparents’ day. Jacks was brought up in a game we played regarding what grandparents played with as children. As a result I looked for, and found, a set on Amazon, as well as pick up sticks. My grandchildren enjoyed playing. We were all surprised at how difficult it was for everyone to do it, including young adults. It’s a GREAT game for eye-hand coordination. The quality of the items are very good. I was concerned we’d get a ball with marginal bounce, but that didn’t happen, it’s got a good bounce. I especially like the box. It’s very nice and keeps everything contained. The instructions were helpful—we started out doing it incorrectly. My twin grandsons are 10 years old.

My parents have been teaching my younger cousins about the classic games. This was such a great item for them.

Almost 5 stars. The jacks are well made, nice little kit. If I was asked to find something to gripe about it would be the lid won't stand open on it's own without tipping the box back a little. Lid opens and stops at a 90 degree angle. Would like to see it open at a 120 or even all the way back. Otherwise, nicely made box, strong magnet keeps it shut, hinge point seems to be strong, good looking finish which appeared to be similar in color to maple. I'd give it a 4.9

The quality was excellent. I love the little wooden storage box. This was so much fun to play! It brought me back to my childhood. My grandkids were quite interested in the challenge.

Very nice set
