Big Potato Whirly Derby| The All Action Marble Racing Game | New Family Board Game, for 2-6 players, Age 8+

My family love playing this game, adults and children alike. Our 6 year old loves it and so does our 11 year old nephew, 12 year old niece and parents in their 60's so it's got good age range. It's a simple game that you can make harder if you want. It's a good quality and has stood many play throughs already although we've only had it a few months. We play "The Lone Ranger" theme or "Horse Race Trumpet Fanfare" when we launch the ball for an extra laughs. It's gone on holidays etc and so while it was a bit more costly than I'd like but with how much we've played it and it's limitless "replayablilty" I would say it is good value for money.

Great game! Good fun, my family enjoying betting and cheering on their marbles. Along with the marbles on the board and the shouting it does get rather noisy! However, as the base is made of card (granted it is sturdy card) each time we use it and put it away I worry about the longevity of its life. We have had it about 6 months now with multiple uses and it’s still going though….so I’d definitely buy it again even taking this into consideration.

Big Potato Games have done it again. This is basically marble racing but with a really clever board game twist. The retro design is lovely, but the gameplay is what shines. It’s mostly luck (as you "helplessly watch" your marble race), but there’s enough strategy with the "Thunderball" advanced rules to keep adults interested. It brings that exciting arcade feeling to the dining table. A solid 5 stars for build quality and replay value. We have had a ton of fun playing this around the table and its super easy to pick up and play. Definitely worth the price

Would be 5 star if the components were better. The marbles have chips etc and are different sizes so certain colours will always win. The game itself is good fun!

Great fun for all ages, easy to grasp for our 5 year old and the grandparents too! Advanced rules do help to mix it up too.

Is a really good game but sadly the box arrived with big scratches on the front so wasn't able to give it as a gift as didn't look new hence the 3 stars as had to go out and buy another gift. It was packaged well and in a box with extra paper to protect it so must have been packed like it.

Fantastic game! Really fun and easy to play, including the advanced rules. Easy to set up, and each round is fairly quick to play.

Great game and being made of tin, it feels 'old school'. Very straightforward to play so great for all ages - and its fun!

This is a good quality game that anyone in the family can play. Every player has a certain number of marbles and each round you select how many you want to play that round. All the marbles get dumped onto the metal funnel and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ones that come out get their choice of the scoring cards for that round. Play continues for eight rounds and the person with the most points from the scoring cards wins. This is simple fun for everyone as you cheer on your marbles as the spin around the funnel hoping yours goes in first. It can also be used to teach basic probability of when to play more or fewer marbles that round. Highly recommended for everyone.

My kid loves it!

We enjoyed the game. It was very fun to play and it's definitely different than some of the other games ww played. It is a fun marble game. The only issue I had was the plate in which you roll the marbles around kept moving when you toss the marbles into it. So I needed to keep resetting it back on the platform. Maybe there are a way to keep it in place that I am unaware of. I took a star of because of that but everything else seems quite well.

My son loves marble run races so I thought he would enjoy this game. It is fun for the whole family! Very simple, quick playing, and exciting to see whose marbles win. Some strategy in selecting the number of marbles to race and when to reclaim used marbles. The tin marble well and finish line give a fun nostalgic feel. The paper stand and marble launcher may wear down over time or with rough users (smaller kids?). Should either happen, both would be easy to replace but I would have liked something a little more durable for the $25 cost. Overall, an exciting and fun game for everyone!

This is an easy, quick, but VERY fun game! The adults continued to play after the kids went to bed!
