Let me start by saying, KerPlunk is an absolute blast! I recently played this with my nieces and nephews, and it was a hit. The setup is straightforward: you create a lattice of sticks in the tube and place marbles on top. The suspense of pulling out sticks without letting marbles drop is thrilling for all ages.

The game is well-made and doesn’t take up much space, making it perfect for family game nights or even small gatherings. It’s easy to learn, so even the littlest players can join in. The laughter and excitement when marbles come crashing down are priceless!

However, there are a few downsides. The box design is flimsy, and the sticks can easily get lost if you’re not careful. I ended up taping one end of the box to keep everything secure. Also, some of the sticks have rough edges, which could be a safety concern for younger kids.

Despite these issues, KerPlunk remains a fantastic choice for family fun. It’s affordable, entertaining, and brings everyone together. Just be prepared for a bit of setup time and maybe invest in a better storage solution!
