Do they still make something like this? I mean, I'm sure the enshitification has made it crappier, but would still want to see.

Honestly, this thing was cool but enshitification had already made it worse. I had this one as well as one that I inherited from a cousin that was about a decade older. This one was flimsy cardboard and the activities were okay, but the older one was made of metal and the activities were much cooler and it gave ideas for how to expand beyond the provided board.

Only modern similar thing I’ve found so far is something called “snap circuits” and they are expensive.
