It is an appropriate game for all ages and skill levels and is easy to learn.

It can also be quite a challenging, fast-paced, and competitive game when people become more experienced at playing.

It is a very social game and a great way to meet new friends.
-
It is a great way to exercise both your body and mind.

It allows you to work on your balance, agility, reflexes and hand-eye coordination without putting excessive strains on your body.
