Perfect games to throw in your purse for car rides or to play on the couch while watching tv. Kids absolutely love these games.

Got here on time. Kids love this game and so do I! Definitely puts you to think! It comes with a pamphlet that explains different ways to play.WE ARE A FAMILY OF FOUR: This is a 2 player game, but so is Connect 4 and now we rotate! Both games usually finish around the same time. Amazing!The only downside is the storage. Everything is basically taken apart, or will fall apart in the box. I took snack size ziplock bags to divide the pieces that go on each side of the board, that way we don’t have to count 4x of each color every time.However, there is a game where you can mix the colors.Storage issues is not that big of a deal, definitely not taking a star off for that and it takes seconds to set up.Bottom line; WE LOVE IT!

My son and I cant get enough of Rubks race. He beats me nine out of ten games. So many different ways to play. Only down side is the pieces are not locked in. I didn't know he dropped the cube and pieces were vacuumed up by mistake. We will be digging out the Rubiks cub from the toy box real soon. So until then he'll keep his reign as Rubiks Race King. This two player game is fun and exciting. Great family or party game. I was thinking about sending one to my son's teacher for the class. I highly recommend this game. But be aware of potential chocking hazzard for little ones. This game has many small pieces.

Really like this game! Bought it for some quick family fun before trips, after homework, etc. Easy to put together. Was some wear marks on shaker cubes, but they should be ok since they are protected under dome once assembled. Player slide pieces are molded colored plastic w/ black edges (not stickers for colors) which is good. I put a little dot on one set of the pieces so it would be easier to reassemble and have equal colors on both sides after storage.Speaking of storage, you have to disassemble the game for storage after playing if you want to use the box it was packaged in, and since the slider pieces are loose inside the player tray areas they WILL fall out when the board is tilted- not a problem during actual game play though. I decided not to take the game completely apart and opted for just putting the game pieces in a ziplock for storage.After three games, (grandson and I played 'best of three' before he went outside to play), there were already wear lines on the play area trays from sliding the pieces, which may be cosmetically bad but good for easier/quicker sliding as more games are played.PROS:. Easy to play, makes play 'even' for multiple ages to play together. Frame and play area easy to assemble. Molded plastic pieces w/ really good color and texture. Great value for quality and playabilityCONS (I use the term loosely):. No 'track' system to hold sliding pieces in play area (which would also make storage easier). Having a pouch or some other storage system would have been good. No 'easy' way to sort pieces to make sure there's even numbers/colors on both sides (easy fix though)

Great for busy kids.

So this is like the sliding tile puzzles I played in the early 1990s where there's one blank space and you slide the pieces around in a frame to complete a picture or put the tiles in numerical order. But in this case, you are matching a pattern of colored blocks that resembles one side of a Rubik's cube (hopefully quicker than your opponent does).My 10 year old and I played this game about 10 times the night we got it. He was actually able to beat me once, and came pretty close a few other times. It's tricky, definitely, but once you get the hang of it, it's a blast. I'm not sure if a 7 year old could play it without help. I think it would've been more fun to play against someone with a similar skill level - so if he'd played against a sibling, and I'd played against an adult. But it was very much fun for both of us anyway.

The frame is a bit flimsy and the pieces don't click into place like a slide puzzle (that's how I expected it would be). The colored squares just sit in the tray, and you have to make sure you have 4 of each color on both sides. The pieces are not easy to grip with your finger to slide (like those 3D textured slide puzzles you played at the dentist's office). They are flat plastic, untextured, and not weighted. If you're moving too fast (like I expect other puzzlers and Rubik'ers to do), the pieces can flip up out of the tray. Also, you can cheat by picking up the squares...Still, it's a fun game and more challenging than it looks. I sort of gave up on it because it can take too long to solve. Probably would not hold attention for under 12 years old.

Whatever you do, if your kiddo tells you that they are "practicing the game," put it away. That's what my nine year old did for several minutes a day, and now he beats everyone in the family. It takes him less than 15 seconds to win every. single. game. I used to beat him 75% of the time. Now nobody wants to play against him because they don't stand a chance of winning. Otherwise, it was a super fun game. Set up takes five minutes. A game takes one to three minutes. It's easy, fun, and simple!
