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

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 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!

I've really enjoyed playing this game. The rules were well-thought out and it's a simple concept made fun and challenging by the rewards/trophy system, rerolls, and addition of the Thunder Ball. It's one of those games that gets people shouting and cheering and adds some great energy to a game night.

Cute game, i took a star away because the cardboard base that you fold like a pizza box is kinda flimsy and cheap but overall its a fun gift.

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

It’s super fun, best with more people! It has simple and advanced roles to follow, good for most ages.

This game is really fun but unfortunately, some of the marbles aren’t perfectly round and are oddly shaped and this affects game play.

Pretty fun, the marbles roll away uncontrollably sometimes but not as badly as you'd think. It has the right level of strategy for this kind of game.

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.

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

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.

Simple to play, quite good fun but a bit time limited for enjoyment
