5.0 out of 5 starsA Fun Game of Dexterity and Finesse, for the Rich!
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020
Klask is an amazing game of dexterity and finesse. It's pretty easy to learn, took me and my friends only a couple of games to get a hang of the strikers. It's super fun, and game rounds are pretty quick so we tend to play several best of threes in a short span of time. Be careful of the small biscuits though, as I lost one on the very first day - they tend to fly off the board easily when struck with moderate force and tend to get lost rather easily. In order to maintain my board surface from scratches I'm using sticker pads (provided) on the striker and controller joints. Later, I plan to use felt mouse pads and wax the board surface as well, which I believe will both protect the surface and make the gameplay smoother.
My only two complaints would be the cost of the game compared to what's provided and the lack of availability of a biscuits-only kit. For almost $50 I expected a more finished product (better quality wood, polish and plenty of spare parts especially the white biscuits). For the set provided I felt like I paid two to three times as much as it should cost ideally. If the game came with four strikers, five balls, and twenty biscuits plus additional polishing on the board and better quality wood I'd be happy to justify the $50 cost. The spare parts kit of $10 is also overpriced, and should cost about $5 at most. I'd also be happy if there was a 20 biscuits for $10 kit as I'm scared I'll lose biscuits all the time. This definitely affects gameplay because I'm trying not to lose biscuits and thus have to keep track of them once they fly - my eyes tend to follow the flying biscuits and I lose focus from the game for a moment. But, if you can ignore the costs, the game is totally worth it. I'm afraid the exorbitant price has prevented the wider adoption of this game. If the present set was $20 to $25, I bet more people would buy the game.
Unfortunately, the price is a major deterrent for my friends, who are happy to play with me, but won't be purchasing their own copies.
