Expert opinion
My colleague Peter, with whom I play all these two-player games, and I enjoyed the game immensely. We unpacked it as soon as it arrived. It's a lot different than the likes of Shuffle Puck or Dutch Shuffleboard. Here more than speed will need accuracy and also thinking about which stone to hit first. It's basically a pool table on a smaller table. The great thing is that it can also be played in 4 players. For me, pleasant surprise, thumbs up.
