We love this toy. It's just very fun. You have horse races by shooting marbles up a ramp into a hole which advances the horses. It takes some time to master the marble shooter and also some of the horses move @ different rates - all stuff that makes it fun. We usually rotate colors. It's fun, all ages like it. I would keep it away from toddlers and rought kids though as once they rip those horses out, you really can't get it back in. It's more for older kids for that reason. It's great though, I hope that they keep making it.
