Speeding Snails

Racing Snails “Racing Snails” is the third game in the hit “Racing Series.” After turtles and hedgehogs, it’s time for snails—this time, five snails have been invited to the race, and they’ll be racing on one leg toward the finish line, bringing plenty of fun to players along the way. Players roll colorful dice and move the snails around the board. Along the way, they try to push their opponents off the board and collect as many delicious mushrooms as possible. You won’t know which snails your opponents are playing until the very end, which guarantees plenty of excitement. This one-legged race is a great way to spend free time with kids. Both the colorful pieces and the gameplay—full of surprises and unexpected twists—guarantee a great time. Number of players: 2–5 Age of players: 6–106 Game designer: Reiner Knizia Illustrations: Rolf Vogt Player reviews: “This is a game for young and old alike, perfect for playing together and suitable for children as young as 6. For someone who learned to lose while playing ‘Mushroom Hunt,’ ‘Racing Snails’ will be a more interesting option for teaching children in this regard. This doesn’t mean that to have fun with the snails, we have to involve the younger members of the family in the game. Adult players will be able to spend a quarter of an hour or two testing their strategic thinking and keeping a “poker face,” while warming up for more complex games.” Przystanekplanszowka.pl “Racing Snails isn’t just a simple game for kids. It features some really clever and well-thought-out mechanics. Of course, it’ll also be great fun for kids. Large wooden blocks and sturdy race pieces… According to the box, even 6-year-olds can handle it with ease. Of course, not all the mechanics will be immediately clear to them, but with time… Well, that’s exactly it—you get to know Snails better over time. The jostling, using the mushrooms… It’s not a very complex strategy, of course, but what’s important is that the game has several dimensions. It’s not just about who comes in first… I wholeheartedly recommend this game—not just to children and families. *Racing Turtles* gave the impression that it was a game for kids from start to finish. Here, however, right from the start, you feel that every move can be important—that there’s a bit more strategy involved.” Boardtime.pl
