We have always enjoyed playing this game and were happy to see it is still available. The original game we had came with a plastic bathtub which held the cards. That is no longer part of this game. Taking away 1 star is no reflection on the quality of the cards, or the transaction getting this merchandise, just very disappointed the vintage bathtub isn't in the new version.
This is a very cute game. But It takes a lot of room to play it and it has a couple hard to understand rules. For example which direction the waterspout can point at the bottom of your water line. And you can not move the cards to make more room on the table once water lines are placed. Well.... We play for fun, and I don't think you should be a stickler when you're playing with little kids. So we dont play by those couple rules. But overall I think this is a real cute game! And there's a lot of fun to be had with it.
I had played the classic version before so I was really happy to see that it was reproduced so I could buy a set! The artwork is now digital instead of hand drawn and that was disappointing, but doesn't take away from the game play. Still one of my all-time favorite games!
Originally released by Parker Brothers in the late '70s this is a really a blast from the past! A wonderful game for ALL ages. I'm delighted to see it back out in retail. I do miss the little bathtub card holder though....
This is a good game if you have large gaps in between game play. We play games at my work on breaks and everyone enjoyed the game, but we grew bored after playing continuly for a week or two. We still bring it out occasionally to play and continues to be fun in a one or two game situation.

Son loves this game, as does his friends. My husband remembers it from childhood. Happy to find it and good quality !!!!!
So very excited to find this classic game still available! Thank you, thank you! My granddaughter is now learning this terrific game, assisted by aunts and uncles😊😊 only downside: we miss having the bathtub holder for the cards, and instead of 10 wrenches, apparently these days there are only eight. Certainly no big deal, as we are ecstatic to find the game here in this century!
One of my favorite childhood games I now get to share with my kids and they love it too! Wrenchs are quality made of metal not cheap plastic and small box makes for easy storage and carry along on trips.
Love this game! Great game when you have several ages playing.
I was so happy to find this game still around. . . It was a favorite in our family when I was growing up.
