Games Comp Chart Tightrope Game Leaps and Ledges Game Skippity Game Qwirkle Board Game Q-Bitz Pattern Matching Review: Great game! - I purchased this game for my 7 year old granddaughter and she loves this game! Plays it all the time. The price was very reasonable. It is age range appropriate. Well made product. I would highly recommend it. Review: I LOST MY MARBLES FOR TIGHTROPE - I live and breathe board games and am always looking for the next “it” game for our game nights. What attracted me to Tightrope was its packaging. It instantly communicated how to play. I can confidently say after multiple rounds that I was not disappointed. The game was an immediate hit with our family, ages 5 to 85. Mechanically, Tightrope is quite simple. Yet in practice it develops dramatic tension as players attempt to be the first to balance all their marbles on crisscrossing elastic bands. Tightrope offers strategic variety that keeps you playing game after game. By changing the paths of the elastic bands, it is never same game twice. WARNING. Highly addictive. Like M&Ms, you can never have just one. Tightrope begs to be played again and again. ## Features - Family Board Games that Teach: This strategy board game boosts strategic thinking, decision-making skills and hand-eye coordination as players try to balance marbles on rubber bands - Engaging Board Games for Kids: Players take turns placing marbles on rubber bands that sway and bounce, adding a thrilling twist as you try to add marbles without letting any fall off the bands...and right back into your pile - Competitive Fun: Win by having the least amount of marbles in this game that’s a perfect way to bring excitement and competition to your kids board games or classroom games - Quick Gameplay: Designed for 2 to 4 players, this game has an average play time of just 20 minutes, making it an exciting addition to your board games for adults and family game nights - Tightrope Strategy Board Game includes 1 game board, 24 pegs, 20 stretchy silicone bands, 4 marble cups, 64 small marbles, 4 big marbles and rules (Ages 6 and up) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,331 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,160 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 127 Reviews | ## Images ![MindWare Tightrope Strategy Board Game, Fun for Classrooms, 2-4 Players, 20 Min Play Time, Ages 6 & Up - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J6ENxLHVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What’s the object of Tightrope?** A: Balance your marbles on the web of stretchy bands and be the player with the fewest marbles left in your cup when the bands finally sag. **Q: What’s included in the game?** A: The set provides a folding board, 24 pegs, 20 silicone bands, 4 marble cups, 64 small marbles, 4 big marbles and the rules sheet. **Q: How many people can play and how long does it take?** A: Designed for 2–4 players with an average play time of about 20 minutes—perfect for family game night or classroom centers. **Q: What skills does Tightrope build?** A: Players practice forward planning, fine motor control and quick risk assessment each time they decide where to place a marble. **Q: Is it classroom-friendly?** A: Yes—the components are durable, setup is fast and rounds are short, making it easy to fit into a lesson or rainy-day recess. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great game! *by K***C on November 29, 2025* I purchased this game for my 7 year old granddaughter and she loves this game!
