The jacks, ball, and little booklet of a variety of activities were fine. However, the set was missing the "bag" the booklet mentioned. Even more disappointing was that the tin was VERY difficult to open by an adult! The lid is too small/tight compared to the bottom base meaning one has to get a tool to pry it open. I don't see how a child would ever get it to open. I ended up putting the items in a drawstring bag I had and recycling the tin. Very disappointed!

Dear Gloria, I am so sorry that you were disappointed by this item. We don't say that this item comes with a pouch. However, I do see that on the cover of the instruction booklet the manufacturer lists "pouch" (they use the same instruction booklet for other kits). I will let them know about this error as the storage for this item is the tin. Meanwhile, I wonder if you received a damaged tin? We did retest this item. We found that while the lid fits snuggly, it is easy to remove (especially if you squeeze the sides a bit). Please know your satisfaction is always guaranteed. I'll have Customer Service reach out to you and see what else we can do. Thank you for your feedback. Kristine Horrace Merchandising Manager

Of course, I was brought up playing Jack's. In fact, I was in many jack championship games as a child so when I saw the advertisement, " Jack's for sale," I knew I had to order. I've taught my granddaughters how to play and now my grandsons are learning. Great for eye/hand coordination.We love it!!!

Great to find this classic in jumbo size. Assist my young grandchildren with the development of hand-tied coordination in such a fun way.

These jacks are exactly the ones I remembered as a child except there was always a red ball which had a different texture on the outer part of the ball. The granddaughters and I had competition just practicing bouncing the balls. I can win now but as soon as these girls figure it out, I will be trounced. The 7 year olds are struggling but the 11 year old is almost there. So much fun.
