Troubleshooting
Cans don't stack securely.
Ensure the surface is flat and stable. Adjust the position of the cans slightly to find a more secure base.
Bean bags are not sturdy enough.
The bean bags are designed to be soft and safe. For a more challenging knockdown, try stacking the cans closer together or increasing the throwing distance.
Cans are dented or damaged.
While made of durable tin, repeated forceful impact may cause dents. Minor dents should not affect gameplay. If severely damaged, consider replacing the affected can.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply stack the 10 tin cans in a pyramid formation. For added challenge, leave a gap between the cans. Players then stand at a designated distance and throw the bean bags.
Compatibility: This game is suitable for all ages, from 3 to 103. It can be played indoors (hallways, corridors) or outdoors (gardens, patios). Ensure a clear, flat surface for optimal setup.
Care: Wipe the tin cans with a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals. The bean bags can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the game is stored in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust on the cans.
