PACKAGING

This game comes in a cardboard box. After removing a small piece of tape, the game slides out of the package easily.

BE AWARE

There are some points buyers may want to be aware of. The stylus is small, which could be difficult for anyone with arthritis to handle easily. In addition, the display can be difficult for some to read, as it’s also rather small with many numbers in close proximity. Finally, the game runs on two G13 batteries that are included, rather than a more commonly used battery.
