(More customer reviews)The Kid'z are SWARMING it! The Wife & I Enjoy having a Go at eachother with it as
well.The Box,Rack,& Stop Bar are all made of Solid Wood,so the Durability ought to be
pretty good.As with all things of Value just treat it with a little respect.For this
reason this is one of the Thingz that stays in our Master Bedroom,& the Kid'z are NOT
allowed to carry it off to destinations unknown.Naturally it isn't PERFECT,nothing
ever is.The game does have #2 problems.First off the Clear Blue & Red Marbles suppled
with the Game are FAR to close in Color to be Clearly visible in less than Ideal
Light.Secondly it's LOUD!Have a think,Glass SLAMMING into Glass during Gameplay,then
worse still the careening CRASH of all the Marbles dumping into the Box all at once
when you pull the Wooden Stop Bar out to reset the Game for another round,or close
the Box at the end of Play.You could however correct BOTH of these issues easily.On
the Visibility issue,have a Think about buying additional Black,& White Marbles
(solid in color of course).On the NOISE issue have a think about using Wooden
Marbles.Either way the Game will be MUCH more user friendly replacing the Stock
Marbles.Wanna KILL two Birdz with one Stone? Get your Pawz on some Wooden Marbles &
Paint them Black,& White!Either way just bear in mind you will need 7/8ths inch,or
22mm Marbles for the best fit in the Channels.If you're a MAD MOD'R such as myself,
you could even go so far as to install Padding in the Bottom of the Felt lined Box.
So if you want a Nostalgic Game(supposedly dating back to,or beyond the 1700's) with
STRAIGHTFORWARD Gameplay.LOW maintenance.SOLID Construction & Few Parts to TEAR
UP(take that COPY-CAT Connect Four)that EVERYONE will truly enjoy then this one's a
SURE FIRE WINNER!

This edition of Captain's Mistress, which is a part of the Cultural Classics line of historic games, is one of the finest iterations available and is perfect for gift-giving or coffee table display.Captain's Mistress is the predecessor to the perennial favorite 4-In-A-Row game that originated over 500 years ago in England.According to legend, the famous British sailor, Captain Cook, played this game with his fellow shipmates on all three of his major voayages.In fact, Cook spent so much time playing the game, it actually came to be known as the Captain's Mistress.The object of Captain's Mistress is simple, yet the strategies are limitless.Players try to line up their round (glass marbles) in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.The first player to do so, wins the game.Captain's Mistress comes housed in a period-authentic, eye-catching wooden chest with recycled glass balls, evocative of the maritime floats or buoys that were hand-blown from colorful glass by the local artisans of the 18th century.All playing pieces store inside the chest, including the wooden gangplank, which is pulled away to release the glass balls once a winner is determined.A subtle wood burn on the lid identifies this historic game and completes its remarkable look as a home décor piece, as well as a timeless game that will be passed down from generation to generation.For 2 - 4 players, age 14 and up.Contents Include:1 solid wood box, 42 solid glass marble playing pieces, 1 wooden plank and 1 Captain's Mistress History Booklet/Rulebook.
