The Drop Penny game that you created is excellent. The craftsmanship is top notch, the selection of materials work so well together, the engraving on the top and penny used to slide the cover finish it off perfectly. Thank you for the great and timely shipping, too!

I played this game at my dads house and loved it so had to order it and was so excited to get it! It’s perfect!

I was surprised that it was a higher quality than I expected. What I didn't like is that the box slides out of the bottom when you pick it up. It's not held in place by a snugger fit or by magnets. So if you don't remember to place your hand under the bottom, it'll fall out when you pick it up. I don't want it to break.

Be sure to get a couple penny rolls from the bank while you still can.

Well made penny games. Purchased 3 as gifts, paid for one to be engraved. Wasn’t marked clearly without opening prior to gifting. Only downfall.

Made well, and nice looking item.

Great quality. Fast shipping. Packaged securely and in a cute box. A fun game for all.

Well manufactured. Definitely a quality item. Quick shipping

This penny game is well made !

It is very well packaged and I just love it! I can't wait to start playing this game. Directions came with the box as well. :)

Fast delivery, high-quality product, was packaged well, item matched the description. Thank you!

Very pleased with the product!

These are the most recent 3 drop games I purchased. I’m not sure which one is my favorite so far. I collected a total of 6 so far, and have a custom in the works too. I’m so impressed with the different wood grains and laser engraving. Great quality products and they’re shipped fast and packed well too. Thanks again.

Good. The engraving was slightly incorrect.

Fantastic transaction, I would recommend this shop. The Penny Drop games and poker dice are awesome. Highly recommended.

Wow! I’m super impressed. I bought two Penny Drop games, but asked the seller to custom the holes to fit my mini poker chips that are about the same size as U.S. nickel coins. They are a perfect fit for my mini poker chips. I also had them custom some poker dice that I’ll share photos of in a separate review. The photos in the listing don’t do the games justice. And, the wood smells so amazng. Great quality items. Customer sevice arranging the custom orders was amazing as well. Packed well and shipped fast. I’ll definitely buy again!! A+++ transaction from start to finish. Love it. ☺️

The box is beautiful and perfect for camping. Enough pennies could be stored for 8 people to play.

Item arrived as described, well made, and arrived a day early. Would definitely order from this Etsy store again.

This penny drop game is just as described. It has beautiful craftsmanship and the size is perfect. I also love that it came with a wooden die.
Wonderfully made.

I love the compactness of this game and its portability I wish there were magnets or something to hold the top to the bottom versus my makeshift velcro strap.

Excellent quality! Fast delivery. I had mine engraved and the engraving is perfect. Would recommend for sure!

Excellent workmanship and shipped promptly. Exceeded my expectations! I will definitely be buying from this small business again!

I love the Penny Drop game. A friend recommended it so I ordered it. I love the quality of it.

The item arrived fast, love the material used, the recipient of this gift enjoys it.

The items are just great.
