Click on the picture to see a larger version. In summary the main differences are:

  • Rolly set has more detail than the Garden Games set.
  • Rolly set is made from marginally thicker PVC so is slightly more robust.
  • The base of each Rolly piece is a single part whereas Garden Games set is made from 2. This makes the Rolly bases more robust.
  • The fact that the Garden Games pieces split into two means that they take significantly less storage space. Thus their containing cartons are smaller and they cost less to send.
