Product Description

There are five silver jacks, five gold jacks made of metal, and two bright red bouncy balls included in this version. With a magnetic closure, the set comes in an elegant wooden box. Adding skill to this classic game of endless fun makes it even more enjoyable. They're also very convenient to travel with!

THE CASE MEASURES The wooden case measures 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width. The product of 5 x 3 is 15. The sum of 5 x 1 is 6. It is 5 inches from the ground. Point to point, the individual jacks measure less than an inch.

JACK'S HISTORY Jack's origins are closely linked to those of dice, which it is probably a primitive cousin of. It is possible that it is Asian in origin. In sophocles' epic, Knucklebones (Jack's ancient name), invented by Palamedes, who taught them to his Greek countrymen during the Trojan War, were attributed to him. There are allusions to a game similar to Jack in both the Iliad and the Odyssey.

A favorite playground game for many generations, jacks is a good game to learn various skills. A specific number of jacks and a ball is simultaneously tossed and picked up by the player as they develop socialization skills, hand-eye coordination, and fine-motor skills. This game can be enjoyed by either oneself or with a friend. You get better and better, and that makes you want to play more!

Questions & Answers

There are a lot of heavy quality jacks that I need to buy. Is that what these are like?

It is true. They did a great job and we were very pleased. As a kid I remember playing with them myself, only they were round with smooth These are made of heavy-duty materials and come in a nice box.

What is the place where this is ?

In the Product Details section of the product page it is stated that the product is from China.

What kind of bounce can the ball provide? You should not bounce too high, nor should the bounce too straight. ?

That's right. However, I must admit that the years have worn me down. There was a good ball there.

Can you tell me how big these jacks are? We don't have the ability to hold the larger ones tightly enough for my daughter (and me) to play with them. What do we do?

The jacks are made just for my hand, and I do not have any problems with them

The jacks are just what you remember from your past

5/5

They're awesome! The wooden box that they come in, the fact that there are two balls in the set, and that the box top is held shut by a magnet are all great features. The game of Jacks was a great time for me and I'm looking forward to passing it on to my grandchildren. This word or warning is for you. As it used to be, rising off that floor is more difficult than it once was. It's too funny.

I am thrilled

5/5

There is no way I can describe my happiness. It is almost exactly the same as I remember the ones I grew up with. I'm 54 years old. I am not saying this is due to the seller or product, whenever I say almost, it's because you literally cannot find anything from childhood in the exact same quality unless you go to a vintage buyer and then you'll have to pay tremendous amounts. Quite similar to heavy metal of the past - which was used many decades ago In addition to the nice-looking box in which the discs come, I also love that they come with two balls not just one - it takes up less space on my credenza and they are the right size, not jumbo - the perfect combination! The jacks are very well made, and the quality is A quick look at the box shows it's lined, lovely quality, made so well, and the 20-inch long cord is a great length. A tone jack is a very pretty device. Both my niece and I are enjoying one set from your shop - I bought one for myself and one for my niece, who is 10 years old. The product is great.

There's nothing like these! It is the best! I've tried a few other brands and these are the best

5/5

The wooden box is nice and shiny, and the jacks are of size of the jack and the bounce of the ball are perfect. The customer was very pleased with the service.

Even when it was short a jack, it was still a great game

4/5

The rating I wanted to give was 5 stars An overall rating of five stars for 'Jacks'. It has a wooden box, the balls bounce as she expects, and the jacks are metal (not plastic). My wife was very pleased with it. I should've added one or two stars for the mere fact that she was able to play with jacks so much! It was only because one jack was missing from the box that I deducted a star. This sort of spoiled the whole event. But when I contacted WE Games, the receptionist was very kind. Rather than send me off to another site to get help, she went ahead and gathered my information and mailed it to us in time. were able to get it quickly, and now the wife is pleased with her Jack's.

Purchased this item and was very happy with it

5/5

The closest thing I've found to the traditional jacks we played with as a kid and remembering all the fun we had (back in the day) with such simple and basic In recent years, it seems that all new sets are either over-sized or of poor With these, you can teach coordination skills to children in a fun way and they work well with smaller hands. It's nice to have a wooden storage box to keep everything in order. It's fun to play traditional games with the younger generation. There is no such thing as an out-of-style classic.

Happy New Year! A great product overall

4/5

I would have liked it to cost a bit less, but something this sturdy that I feel will last for years makes it worth the price. It has two small scratches on the box that come in it, but I can easily buff them out before I give it 5 stars. Despite being bigger than what I had hoped, the jacks are still miniature for most modern I am looking forward to playing this game with my wonderful mother who introduced me to this amazing game when I was a small.

I like the storage box

5/5

It is made from wood and very sturdy. There is a great bounce to the balls and the jacks are just the right weight. Playing jacks was a favorite game of mine when I was young, and I am eager to do so with the kids, but I must practice and improve my skills and abilities before doing so. This game plays well with your hand-eye coordination, making it a great way to maintain it. Product is excellent. I am very happy with it.

Recall the memories

5/5

This was a gift I ordered for my granddaughter based on memories. This skill is still a work in progress for her. We are learning, though, and having a good time. I received the order within a reasonable timeframe. I had no problems with this seller. I would use them.
