Market Meltdown Board Game

good game once you get the hang of it - perhaps late on Christmas day wasn't the best time to try!

Bought after reading a rave review in the Telegraph, played on Christmas Day with friends, one in financial services (she won).There's a lot of small fiddly and lightweight parts. Some seem unnecessary, such as the bell and sandtimer (which was faulty).The blanking plates for the roulette wheel wouldn't stay in place, the roulette ball is so small it's hard to get it spinning onto the wheel. Lose the tiny balls (there is a spare) and the game is US.Sorry, we found it fussy, fiddly, tedious and the instructions not as clear as they could be.Bonus is that it doesn't last for long as players are soon forced out.OK, we've played it once but I can't see us playing it again.

We received good feedback from family who had purchased the game so we purchased one ourselves. Very good but it takes time to understand and master it.

Played with 2 adults: It's a relatively fun game, but if I knew enough about playing roulette to be any good at it, I'd be out playing roulette and not this! Might be better with more players, but is still enjoyable.

It was a welcome Christmas present

It's really just like playing poker, but more expensive initial outlay. My family love playing board games but didn't take to this one. Shame.

Really pleased!

Hilarious!
