Evaluation comments:
“Very cute, colorful box. The set up is very easy.”
“I like the wooden snail figurines in assorted colors. Variations in game play are included in an instruction booklet.”
“This is an introductory style board game. It doesn’t require any strategy whatsoever making it accessible to very young children. It is a bit like gambling, as you bet or guess on which snail will cross the finish line first. The inability to strategize levels the playing field and makes it an exciting race.”
“This is easy to set up and play and my youngest daughter had no trouble playing.”
“The dice and snail figurines are easy to hold and I love that the snails are made of durable wood.”
“Overall, it is a charming, simple game that we have enjoyed playing.”
“Even my oldest child gets a kick out of betting on a snail – there is something for everyone.”
