 The advertising worked, and it was ruddy fun to play!! December 31, 2008
Shiloh (East Sussex, UK)
It's wobbly version of Jenga, not too much hassle to put together, and great fun to play. I wrapped it up for Christmas, and my 4 year old jumped up and down when she opened the paper and saw what it was. "WobBally - knock them down and the laughter begins!" Obviously the advertising worked cos she knew exactly what it was.
All other presents were ignored (including some rather stunning Bratz) as she wanted it set up straight away. I played it with the 4 year old, 11 year old and 13 year old, and yes we had a lot of fun.
Very basically, once you set it up using the handy casing (very quick to do, and part of the fun), turn it upside and you start the game. Roll the dice and it tells you how many of which colour you have to push out without knocking over the whole thing.
This game is so much fun, in a totally basic fashion. Lots of giggles, lots of cheating. 4 year old happily played with it on her own; the 13 and 11 year old got a bit competitive with each other, and the handy bands that come with it mean that even when the whole tower comes tumbling down the balls don't go everywhere - bonus!!
Recommended simple fun - nice one!
A wacky kind of updated Jenga December 24, 2008

I really didn't know what to expect of this odd looking contraption.
What I did get was a piece of complete silliness with easy-to-pick up rules which is a kind of jenga with marbles rather than blocks.
Please see: [] for far more more information than I or anyone else could give you.
One warning is that you should not play this game after a night at the pub - the set-up procedure is far too difficult for even the most nimble-fingered of game-players in that state!

WobBally is a great game, brilliant and fun to play with all the family. The game is similar to Jenga, but more enjoyable, not only playing but also it is exciting to watch the efforts of competitors.
It is a great game when you set the game up straight and strike the balls firmly, making it possible to reach climax with only three balls remaining at each level.
I enjoy playing the game with the whole family, and we play till the game till there are 3 balls remaining at each level .
 Fun for a while December 4, 2008

Wobally, as other reviewers have pointed out, is a twist on the classic game of Jenga - this time using brightly coloured balls instead of wooden blocks.
The idea of the game is simple, using the sticks provided, each player must attempt to push a ball from the tower in turn. From there you continue until the tower collapes. According to the instructions, you are then supposed to put the tower back together and play until you have one winner.
The game itself is nicely designed and fits easily into its container once you've finished playing. It's also bright, eye-catching and for a time at least, fun to play.
Despite looking shaky, the game wasn't difficult to assemble and the plastic strap that was supposed to keep the balls from rolling away and under furniture, for our part, did work.
The negative points were that the tower partially collapsed on several occasions rather than falling completely and we weren't sure whether we were supposed to continue playing until it collapsed completely or whether to reassemble. It was also unclear what was supposed to happen if you accidentally knocked out more than 1 ball during your turn. Once the tower did collapse, although easy enough to reassemble, it took time and effort and stopped the fun of the game for a little while.
It is fun and I enjoyed playing it, however I haven't played it often and it's not a game that I would hurry to play again soon. Only 3 stars.
 Ultimately pointless December 4, 2008

"Play on a flat even surface"
After doing this, watch as 100-odd balls roll away from me, under every item of furniture imaginable.
This ball version of jenga is an interesting idea & concept, but the practicalities of the game undermine this completely. Balls roll, and on a hard even surface, they roll a long way away from you. Combined with the ludicrous rule that you keep re-building the tower until there is only 1 person left makes this game incredibly frustrating.
A brilliant idea, but due to it's very nature, is impossible to pull off.
