This is a great game for the Summer. It works a bit like badminton but without the need for as much space and a huge net! The kit comes in a draw string bag and is designed to be played by two people, with two paddles. However you can add to the game by buying a second kit and having four players. It is a fairly simple design, ideal for taking with you to the beach or park days. We played this on a big sandy beach and spent a couple of hours laughing at the dad's who took it a little bit too seriously and dived for the birdies like premier league footballers!
The paddles fit children and adults, although beware if you have bigger hands you might end up with a thumb poking out the side. The paddles are padded so you can't feel the birdies particularly when you hit them. They are not a glove like design, making precision a bit trickier. The squares are easy to set up and not as intrusive as a bit net.
Overall this is a really fun game, that can be adapted to be enjoyed by all ages and abilities. Including the grannies sat in their respective chairs with a paddle each! The only downside is the price. The full price for this game is just under £40, although it has an offer on at the moment. In my view this is a bit pricey for the quality and quantity of paddles, birdies and squares. For £39 it would have been good to have a four person set.
