Product Description


America has been “shooting-the-moon” long before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed there in 1969. This nostalgic game from the 1940’s has been enjoyed for decades. Shoot the Moon is aptly named because the use of gravity to accelerate the ball on its path up the incline is the same principle used during lunar excursions to accelerate and decelerate the spacecraft. The simple concept of rolling the metal ball uphill by moving the chrome rails back and forth has captivated generations, and it isn’t as easy as you think! The closer the ball drops to you, the more points you score. This engaging game will keep idle hands busy and will have you, your family, and your friends hooked! The game board is solid wood construction measuring 18.25 inches long, and the chrome rails have end caps that make it a joy to handle. The scoring and “Space Force” insignia is laser printed in a black retro design. The round scoring holes are lined with green billiard felt for quieter landings. High-quality construction makes it the kind of board game that can be past down from one generation to the next. This is a great gift that looks as inviting on the coffee table as it does on the bar-top at the local pub.

Used it as part of a Christmas gift we went unplugged this year and decided no electronic gifts has been really fun and my kids enjoy it. has not left coffee table and been put away since opening because we play it so much.

Fun challenging game. This was a super fun game, we made a weekend tournament out of it, we did not play it all weekend, but kept a scorecard and made up our own rules, overall really fun for all ages. I liked that the little kids could play with the adults – they were usually better at it which was fun to watch.

Cool toy Great game. We had one in my family during the 70’s so I gave it a shot.My kids will actually put away their electronic devices to try to master this game and that’s really saying something.I would suggest you add a bit of wood glue and then use the provides screws when you assemble it (very easy to put together) to give it an extra degree of durability.
