You should be really proud of such a creative invention, Steve! As to quality - the paint is a minor problem, but I was attempting an unbiased review and felt obligatd to mention it. The box is well-finished with tight, square seams sturdy hinges and an overall look that says "quality." The tiles are uniformly smooth and well-finished also. The accent paint is a small distraction but needed to be mentioned. Mahalo for the reminder that a second post means a second entry in your contest. I just checked and I actually should have <i>three</i> entries - one for each post and one for purchasing the game. ;) I’m very pleased with the game itself - everything I expected and more.

The shipping was very high, a lot higher than I used to charge people for the marble sets. Even those fit in the $8 flat rate box (2 sets fit). Since you have two tickets in the pot you may just win one of the marble sets. I'm glad you enjoy the game and have fun playing it, that was my goal in designing it. Some of the boxes were "ify" on the quality side. I got ten copies for myself and some of them came out very good while others had problems. It's all part of the gamble when you manufacture in China. on the whole I think SimplyFun did a good job on the game. They are a small company and when you do a small print run you have to figure out ways to keep costs down because the initial run is always the most expensive. Skeet,
