Well, it's a Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy item (keeping a secret). Only the parent or anyone reading this review will know that whoever goes first, wins. I have played this game five times with my grandchildren, and each and every time, the person who went first, won. The person who went second, came in second. Now, it may change as a four or five player game, but for a three-person game, those are the results. We played it as the first person who gets a ball down, wins the game. So, we did not play "the person with the most balls down wins." That could change with different rules and number of players. The grandchildren (3, 5) LOVED it. I set it up with the sticks in a variety of versions (putting the colors in order, mixing them up, and other strategies), but with the three players, the results were the same. They're too young to figure it out, so we alternate who goes first. They are very excited when they win. It is a pain to set up, but in the end, the kids' excitement is worth it.

The toy would be fun and great to play but it takes a long time to set up and the kids are too ansy. They want to help and its not helpful. However, they are only 4 & 5 so I think I will put it away until they get older. I will say delivery of toy was very quick.

This game is fun and easy for my autistic child to play. We enjoy it on game night. The wooden sticks are easy to push through the holes, easier than Kerplunk's plastic, bendy ones. And this version is not as noisy as Kerplunk when the balls drop. Fun game!

Game was fun. It did take some extra time to insert the sticks thru the holes and playing with 2 grandkids under 6 years old that was the part they hated to do if you play several games of this. I just put in half -3/4 of sticks in the holes. Otherwise fun game for them.

Should be a fun game, but the sticks fit too tightly and exactingly, so it’s a pain to put together for every game. My grandson didn’t have the patience for this.

This was alot of fun and easy to use, our 3 year old granddaughter loved it.

Is so much fun to play it ease to learn

Two issues: I am not sure how this could be labeled Montessori when it has nothing to do with the Montessori method of education established by Maria Montessori using specific material. What should be a lovely game is not! This is because so many of the dowels will not fit through the holes. The game has potential to be quite nice, but because of its poor execution it is just frustrating. I am very disappointed in the product.
