Q: it says 30pc game but in description it says 24 pc? there is another melissa & doug 24 pc set for $10.69, so why does this set cost more if it still has only 24 pieces?

A: Hi! There are 24 game pieces, the other pieces are the base (1), the support rods (4), the wooden connector (1), and the colorful die (1), for a total of 30 pieces in the game package. I hope this information is helpful.

I thought this was a good idea for a family game, but the instructions, although they appear in many languages, are insufficient to get started

Doesn't work, too complicated

This game looks simple but it is completely impossible. Two adults, teens and a kid tried and we could only ever get up to 2-3 sticks suspended at a time. Usually they all came crashing down every time. We tried to use the QR code on the packaging to see “suspend in motion” and the QR code went to an invalid site with nothing. I like the idea but it is way too complicated and impossible. Will return.
Awesome

Metal rods bent at a variety of angles to balance together. Chosen as the first Christmas toy to open and played right away. Tickles the brain as well as the funny bone. Takes patience but as more fun than a barrel of monkeys and pick up stix combined. A more sturdy box is my only improvement suggestion.
Love it!

Super fun yet simple game!! The whole family enjoys this. It’s fun to play in reverse too as a “pick up sticks” kind of thing….take one piece off at a time without dropping any! Different levels of play adds challenges too. Love it!!
Fun game and well-made

Simple and fun game for multiple players! Good for a variety of ages - only caveat is the packaging, which could've been sturdier or made of different material beside plastic. Also, the instructions were packaged so they were caught under the lip of the cylindrical packaging and were quite difficult to remove and ended up ripping. Otherwise, the game pieces are of great quality and seems like it will last for years.
CHALLENGE!

This is so challenging and so much fun! I love the diagrams for "try this..." included in the package. More fun than pick-up-sticks.

The Suspend game was a Christmas gift. We all played for several hours as soon as it was unwrapped. So much fun and works for all ages.
This is the second time I bought this for my grandchildren.

My job introduced the game to me. I work with special needs clients, and it sat on the shelf. It looked weird, but I like weird. At first it seemed like it was going to be unplayable. The pieces do look intimidating. Everyone thought I was nuts for trying it, but now its what the whole group wants to do. Now I have to purchase one for my family! Melissa and Doug... YOU HAVE ACED IT AGAIN! I feel for the ones that can not give it 5 stars... I JUST NEED TO PLAY IT WITH YOU! I CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND!

Great visuospatial and strategy game for 1 or more players. High quality pieces and a small storage footprint.
