Stopped working right away.
Right off the bat, two of the LEDs don't work. I am 100% sure we soldered them with the right polarity. They just never worked.After playing it once, the battery holders also stopped working. I can power the game by supplying 3.3v to VIN, but the battery connection just doesn't work anymore.I'm disappointed, I have plenty of experience with soldering and electronics, and I bought this for my 8 year old and I to do together. She has also done plenty of kits and never had this much go wrong.I really feel like we got a lemon, because we can build similar projects from scratch and they work, but this kit was a flop.

Great Instructions
The instructions are really clear and helped this beginner dad bring a project he thought was over his head home. This is our third kit we attempted this weekend, and we were successful. Not all of these kits come with such nice clear instruction, some nice thought went into this and the kids love it.

Fun simple project, great instructions, easy build
This is a top of the line kit, nice board layout and markings, really nice instructions and a great troubleshooting section with actual fixes in case you did not follow the well written instructions. Bought this kit to assemble with my son and really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Best beginning starter kit
I bought a bunch of different starter kits and this was the only one I was able to complete without having to go online to print out instructions. This kit had easy to follow instructions and was a great start for someone with zero soldering experience before.
