Board Game

This is a great game for up to 3 individuals to play singly, but better and funner with 3 teams of two. My parents have had this since at least the 1980s and we still play it often with them along with their grandchildren, my kids. Super simple rules, takes 20 seconds to explain the game, then . . . go!

I purchased this as a replacement for the old "Game of 99" which is now almost impossible to find. Very similar, though I like the board and cards better in the older game. Great game to play with kids and even adults. Would be nice if the cards were made a little better or where large enough to use in an automatic card shuffler to help protect them.

We have friends who have the 1960s version of this game. I have been searching vintage game stores, thrift and 2nd hand shops for years trying to find it. I was THRILLED to find the remake is now available. It is a great game to play when friends come over and it is now expected that I bring it to every family gathering. GREAT FUN! 5IVE STRAIGHT - THE PEGBOARD STRATEGY GAME

This game always goes with us on vacations as we can play it for hours. We love the strategy aspect to it, and our adult kids love to see if they can beat us (they can't). If chess can be a little ponderous for you, but you like a good strategy game, you will like this.Our granddaughter (age 8) is starting to pick it up and can play a reasonable game with us too. We have given this game as gifts for Christmas and as 'thank you' gifts, and it is always appreciated.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for one of my nephews. It looks a lot like Battleship, but instead of using 3 or 4 pegs to "sink" an opponent, this game used 5 pegs. Although I have not played it, it looks like a fun game. Maybe one of these days, my nephew will play it with me. :)

This is a fun game for families and cold winter nights. I can't wait to share it with other members of my family, they are going to love it! It looks simple as you begin but once the board fills up you are challenged to get "five straight".

I love this game! I played it as a child and every decade or so I look for it and purchase another one. This one was arrived in a damaged box. The shrink wrap was still intact but the cardboard box was disfigured and did not close properly. The contents were fine and did not appear to be affected by the water damage that the box sustained, so I did not return it, but, in hindsight it would be nice to have a proper storage container for it( I keep everything in a zip lock baggie).

My wife saw this game sitting around at a brewery and remembered it from when she was a little girl. We played it a bunch of times and I loved it! I don't know why it's so hard to find and nobody carries it. It's kind of a cross between Bingo, Battleship, and tic-tac-toe. Highly recommend!
