Jaques of London

Great game but rubbish quality of the board itself.

We ordered Bagatelle on the web from Jaques (manufacturer of all sorts of lovely family games, kinda heirlooms, etc.). Arrived in good time, easy to order, lovely packaging, great game to play BUT the build quality of this is really not what one expects from a £70 game from such a name as Jaques. The whole family (inc a few friends who popped round) commented on this. The packaging was great English standards whilst the board itself was very much not. I will be sending this back to Jaques with a list of the defects - there are five specific ones and one does not really expect any at all in a relatively simple setup such as this..... They say on the box made in China and quality checked in England - quality must have been asleep that day.
