Important Information:
- Recommended for children ages 3+ as there are small parts. If using with young children please keep a close eye on them.

- Dice, Dominos, and 10 frame markings are made by burning wood and there may be a slight burnt wood smell (I quite enjoy the smell but it may be an acquired smell!)
