  Broken from the beginning. But I waited too long to give it to my godchild (I had bought another gift as well) and it took even longer for them to open it and see it, let alone for me to find out. So what guarantee...

  At least others should be warned...

  Several decades ago there was a "circuit builder" game, made in Greece, whose variation is the one by Clementoni, made in Italy. The idea is perfect, but the implementation is problematic.
  As soon as I opened it and saw the assembly instructions, I understood, as any electrician/electronics enthusiast would, that it is designed incorrectly. The electrical contacts of the components are based on pieces of aluminum foil, on which you hope the component and the cable plug will make contact. This is hopeful conductivity and not proper electrical design, as there is no force holding them tightly together. The clip is not enough, nor is the elastic foil enough to apply pressure.
  The sad result is that while the child builds the circuit correctly, the circuit does not work because some of the 10-20 contacts lose connection.
  If you have the game and want to improve the issue of good contact between the components, I suggest one of the following:
  a) Wrap additional aluminum foil around each piece of foil. I tried it and it improved the situation somewhat, but did not completely solve the problem.
  b) Cut 5 cm from a multicore cable (like those in lamps) and separate the thin wires. Wrap one of these wires around each terminal of the component and then pass it through the hole where the plug goes in the plastic octagonal base.

  Also, the cards with the circuits that need to be built do not explain what each circuit does, and some circuits have errors, for example, they connect the LED directly to the 9V battery, causing it to burn out.
  I don't understand how it was approved for mass production when the design problem is obvious (the original circuit builder used small screws that held the wires and components tightly between their coils).
  It's a shame. Don't buy it.

  Creative from the first to the last minute of use. Simple rules with detailed instructions for the child (8 years old). With a little help in the first few minutes, starting from the first and simplest circuit, the child has grasped the concept of circuit operation and the rules involved. It is very important that the child understands the significance of (+) and (-). There are enough components for a child, I think that having more would create confusion. Of course, you can buy additional components from electronics or use them from broken game circuits with a little help. It definitely won't excite all children the same way, but if the child has creative tendencies in construction, using tools, and breaking things, then this is definitely something that will provide additional stimulation. I don't know if the cost is high or moderate, but it did its job very well. If you don't try, you will never discover your child's true interests, so for me, it is worth it, as well as many other products in the Learn & Create series.

  Terrible build quality!!!
  Not a child, but even an electrician can't work with it!
  As an idea, it's good, but the quality is tragic and the result is the child being disappointed.
  Wasted money!!!

  It did not have the 10 resistors included in the package... I will buy them from a store... the child is learning addition and subtraction and how to connect them... good game

  Verified purchase

  Do not waste your money. The game is a failure.
  1. It requires time-consuming assembly with extremely delicate handling.
  2. The resistors are not marked with any distinction and their size is so small that you will get frustrated trying to put them in order and mark them correctly.
  3. It didn't even take a day and with one careless connection by the child, the potentiometer started emitting smoke.
  Avoid crying over my money.
