Although my son has a lot of experience with putting these together, the parts can be pretty delicate and so I was delighted to find out that there is a place you can write to to get replacement parts. It took a little while, since the company is in Ukraine, but they actually managed to get us the replacement piece the first week of the war. This made it so special for both of us and I am absolutely delighted with this company.

I just built this yesterday. It was a little more difficult to physically put together than I thought. Make sure to sand the edges of all of the connection pieces a little more than you may think necessary. Each one is slightly too big to fit through the necessary hole. The most important part is the gear mechanism. Make sure it moves freely and has plenty of wax on it before continuing. The instructions are just pictures/diagrams. Some of the diagrams could use a little more detail (especially the rubber band). A good construction, but needs a few improvements.It also comes with a “Universal Game Counter.” Make sure to wax each piece before putting them together or it won’t move/adjust.

I gave this to my 20 year old. They began putting it together right away. The only problem we encountered was separating the tiny wooden pieces from the sheet of wood, and fitting them together. He should have used the enclosed sand paper, but broke a couple of pieces while snapping them together; rendering it unusable.

I bought one of these for myself and enjoyed it so much that I ordered two more to give as gifts. The mechanism works well and the box is much more sturdy than I expected. The only reason that I don't give this 5 stars because I have to gently push down on the lid to fully close it. It is a super unique item and I look forward to giving it as a gift to my gaming friends.

Tough assembly - even for someone who has recently assembled other complex wooden structures (other brands). The illustrative guide was not easy to read, and mistakes are not easily reversed, e.g. i broke one of the parts and was surprised how flimsy it was and there was no spare/replacement (the other brand had spare parts). The fit between parts is very tight and a hammer is often required, but the hammer was itself was too strong for some parts. I have two parts ruined with no spares, so have to abandon this wood craft project (my first ever) :(
