To each their own, though. Good reviews on Amazon and this is a good price.

By all ages how low would you go on that?
As others have said the balls to the bottom within a second no matter how well you plan the cubes.
I don't recommend this game. I suggest the wooden game with balls instead. That one as least is more strategic and takes 5 seconds for the ball to fall through.
I have an older version that is labeled "Falling marble logic game" (nothing about a marble run on the box) ... which is exactly what it is. It is great for that person (child or adult) that enjoys doing logic puzzles and games. It is not for the person (child or adult) that likes to build marble runs.
Purchased mine at a thrift store in brand new condition. Those of us in the house (and our visitors) that are analytical and logical thinkers really dig it. Others get frustrated too soon and are ready for something else after 10 minutes. But, that is the beauty of lower priced games. If we play it and enjoy it, great. If we play it and don't really like it, well, that's OK too. We weren't out too much money.
Regarding the version I have, it is a solidly built product. It is not something that is going to break after a couple of uses.

It's a dumb cheap toy. It will not make your kids smarter..
I got this for my 4 and 6 year old years ago and it was only interesting for 2 hours. I donated to Goodwill after.
You put the marble in and less than a second it's done. No matter how complicate you set it up, it will end in 1 second.
Not sure why so many good reviews. That photo of a big kid playing this has to be on the short bus...
Its sad that your kids will inherit your mainlandedness.
