Players roll 6 dice with faces of different colors. They use these colors to move forward on the colored race track. The track has three lanes with colored spaces on them. Players have to figure out how to use their 6 dice colors to move ahead on the track, switching lanes back and forth as needed. The track has spaces with wrecked tires on them which have to navigated around along the way. Players can land on each other's cars and push them back a space. There are tire wreck spaces on the track which need to be navigated around. The first person across the finish line might be the winner. I say "might" because the rules say that each of the other players get one more roll after the first player to cross the finish line. If another player can cross the finish line with less moves than the first person used then they can win instead.
Both my children, 5 and 8, enjoy playing this game together. I enjoy playing it with them as well.
The pieces are nice and sturdy wooden race cars and dice. The pieces will definitely stand up to classroom use. The board is nice thick cardboard. The game is very colorful, attractive, and cute. As you can see in the video, the whole game is smaller than board games usually are. This is very nice because it takes up less space on a shelf.
This is a great game to practice colors with young children. Figuring out which order to use the rolled dice takes a nice amount of forward thinking strategy on the part of the children as well. If they choose a less than optimal order they won't move as far. It is a much superior color matching game to the old standard Candy Land due to the fact that Candy Land has no strategic thought in its gameplay. I'd definitely recommend this game to my fellow educators and parents over that one .
