Wow, this is one quick and very fun game that I never get tired of! Usually I figure games out and then feel a bit bored them. But because of the multiple levels of play, I am still as challenged as when I began playing Gobblets! Super simple rules too. This is a quality wooden game that will last forever (almost!) Highly recommended—my favorite new game!

I've been holding out on you, friends. For years I have looked at this special jump rope and thought to myself, "Who needs it? Just use any old rope." I have been a slow convert to the idea of a nice jump rope, but here is why I bought one: no more scratched up ankles or "whipped" legs from bristly old garage-scrounged-up ropes, no more wooden handles to knock little ones in the head when the rope is accidentally yanked out of your hands, no more stiff ropes that just won't bend and flex for those young beginners that need a forgiving soft rope to learn on. This premium jump rope won't kink, is silky soft, and will not stiffen or dry out and become bristly, needs no handles, is a good heavy weight for better control and a nice "throw," is washable, and comes in a vibrant, colorfast multicolor confetti design, wears wonderfully well, and is worth every penny of investment for such a healthy exercise and coordination producing activity as jump-roping! Lots of fun for both boys and girls (and Moms and Dads)!
