Customer Reviews

The Jacks Book & the Jacks

Excellent book with real old fashioned metal jacks! The only downside is that the jacks are stuck to the back page, and removing the box would damage the book . . . still worth it though.

Great Book On Jacks With Heavy Weight Metal Jacks & Ball

This book contained many variations from around the world of the game of Jacks. It's everything you ever wanted to know about Jacks. It even contains instructions for making your own, though with the excellent set of heavy weight metal (deluxe) jacks and ball that they include you won't need to. They even include a cloth bag to store it all in. Relive your childhood and refresh your memories with this book or better yet pass it on to a new generation. The only negative is that there aren't many illustrations in this book so younger children may need help in reading and following the instructions, but older children won't have any problems following the well written instructions.
