Evaluation comments:
“A great math and Stem skills activity”
“I like that players must use cognitive skills (spatial reasoning-tracking routes to get around any cones and planning a route over many turns (like chess players do). Players must try to predict what the other players will do to protect their own routes. After each turn, players must access what their next move will be. Each player only has three cones to protect routes, so they need to think carefully over placement.”
“I like that this game is mentally challenging and encourages planning and spatial awareness.”
“I like the fact that in the instructions there are some fun facts about the roads we use every day. For example, “The first paved roads date back to around 4000 BCE in Mesopotamia.”
“This is a challenging game and will encourage cognitive skills.”
“Fun for a game night.”
