Other Crazy Forts say "New Stronger Fortified Fit" on the box. Do these use the improved design with the arrow on the balls or is it an old design?

Mine have the arrows. I have never had any issue with them coming apart during normal play as long as you wedge them in well when you put them together. We love ours and use them all the time.

this one does have the arrows, but I thought it was going t be much better than it was. We do no use ours.

Mine had the arrows on it, but honestly we do not ever even really follow those instructions. They are really sturdy already. My kids really love these and e have gotten great use out of them. We have two sets, which makes for a nice sized fort. The smaller sets certainly work but 2 makes a fort the kids can really get into. They are very sturdy and hold up until we take them down. Adults need to help put the rods into connectors because you need to really insert them well to keep it all together.

The ones I received were slightly pointed (Not like a toothpick) but were as I remembered from 40 years ago. In order to play the game they have to be slightly pointed to pick at the other sticks in order to get them out of the pile. In my opinion, they are correct.

Its much better if you hammer it into the ground. However, you can shoot a fair amount of rounds before it falls over if the ground is too hard. Also, the "stakes" are pretty round so if the ground is solid they wont go in easily.

Yes. Although this is the older version of the game, there is a new one out.

Yep. As I said in my updated review, the newer HoldenArt sets that are being manufactured have been significantly improved in that area. With the new pieces I was sent, I can turn the set upside-down and all the pieces will remain firmly in place.

The quiver is fine either way and the arrow rest I points out but we replaced it with a whisker biscuit. That kept the arrow from moving around when drawing back. about the sight pin I can take a pic when I get home.

No, it is a building project requiring creative thought. My 12 year old daughter made a tent for her cats today. She has had fun making different types of forts for her own use as well. Fun toy for the creative child.

I modified a cartoon box and it works just fine. of course it is not as good look as use a slim riser block.

I think qwirkle cubes is better because you have the option to roll the cubes to better your points. Everyone playing can see what you have and that is different from regular quickly where you can stand up the squares to hide them from the other players.

This is kinda one of those games. Sizes vary widely, depending on the manufacturer. Lots of people make their own, even. It's not like it makes that much difference. You still need to knock down the blocks with the dowels.

The sticks are different, they are round and not square. Fit best in the boxes from brp boxes.

A little larger. Like the old mage knight/hero click bases. You could use them but they are about 50% bigger.Long long game as well.

I am not familiar with the Magic Forts Kit. My 4 year-old [now 5 year-old] twin grandkids LOVE the E-Z Fort. I bought yards of colorful, shiny and textured material on sale and it becomes a "princess castle" covered with pink satin and with black sheets over it, it becomes a "pirate ship". It motivates children to use their imagination. The versatility and ease of construction are great. It is NOT study for climbing or support for anything heavy. The pieces are all interchangeable and stay connected. I bought another set we liked it so much.

Only change I see is the box design (says ages 7+ instead of 5+ now)...instruction card might've changed too (old one mentioned a website that is now defunct & had the age listed as 5+ too).

Off hand, I believe it was improved, I ordered in th fall & it's was an Arkham Asylum line, the reason I say I believe it is the improved version is because my son hasn't had any issues wirh breaking like others have had.

The Spalding is hollow and bounces higher than any ball you have seen. The pinky does not seem to be hollow. It is heavier and very hard to squeeze. The Spaldine as we called it was the only ball we played with as a kid.

I've used the old version and it can definitely tip over if kids are playing inside. When we used them for the first time, my kids were so excited that they kept tipping them over, but they quickly accepted they were for sleeping and didn't have any problems while sleeping. I thinking it depends on your kids' temperaments whether or not this is a good purchase for you. I think they're much more convenient than pack n plays.
