Description
With the same high-precision building blocks as the other KEVA sets, this one isn't geared towards architecture as much as courses the whole thing reminds me of a marble run with greater flexibility and design options. The pieces are smaller and lighter, and it comes with two bouncy KEVA balls (roughly the weight and shape of ping pong balls so they won't shake the wooden structures) to roll down paths, drop down shafts, and deflect around U-turns that you've built. Almost any design is possible, though an idea guide is included to get you started creating. Anyone who likes marble runs should definitely take a look at this kit. ~ Mark
