I recently purchased a set for my 3 year old son, and we both have been having a blast with it ever since. The basic idea is simple: marbles and a track. The interesting thing is that the track is built out of individual wooden blocks with curves and channels cut into them, allowing you to create<br \/>\na track of whatever shape your imagination can conceive. The marbles are moved along strictly by gravity, falling from one level to another and cutting back and forth through hidden tunnels.<\/p>\n<p>The company is based in Switzerland, but sets are available from several US retailers. There are several starter sets, plus add-on kits that allow you to build more complicated structures. I started with the Cuboro Standard, and recently added the Cugolino set. Although Cuboro is a bit pricey for a toy, the manufacturing quality is<br \/>\nexceptional and you get what you pay for.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Kurt Thearling<\/p>\n<p>Cuboro<br \/>\n$200 starter set<br \/>\n$280 standard set<br \/>\nAvailable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oh-toys.com\/Shop\/CuboroStarterSets\/tabid\/478\/Default.aspx\">Oh!
