I purchased one of these Marky Sparky Doinkit Dart Boards for our games room. It arrived quickly, looks nice, and is fun to play with. The trouble is that the metal face plate separated from the plastic back and sliced a little boys nose before it hit the floor. So beware, the metal face plate may not be securily fastened to the back. Pulling the darts off the board may result in injuries. I am going to drill a hole through the face plate and back then use a nut, bolt, and washer to make sure the two pieces stay together.
UPDATE: I called the factory yesterday and told them what had happened. They are aware that the older boards will do that and have designed a new board. They are sending me a new board.

My 7 year old sons love to play darts. These are much safer than with original darts. The magnets are very strong. My husband and I also have fun playing darts as well. As far as the educational value, my boys are learning adding and subtracting when we play for points. The best of all this toy doesn’t have batteries and it does get them away from the tv and video games. This is a great purchase.

Magnets have a very firm grip to the board. I threw these darts pretty hard and none of them bounced off, some of them even stuck to the side when I hit the corner!
The surface of the board is flat and feels very durable. The darts have a magnet tip with a plastic pliable mesh handle that mirrors the look, feel and shape of a Chinese finger trap. The tails of the darts feel very fragile but even with a tug they did feel securely connected with the magnet base. I even played a few rounds by throwing the darts by the tail, in a tomahawk like throwing fashion, and they didn’t seem to have any ill effects.
Make sure that the board is securely hung on the wall. Do not use nails to hang this board because the pulling off of the darts can and probably will loosen the board from the wall. Use screws. This toy does not come with any hanging material.
This is a quality toy that is fun for the whole family.
