Awesome game. I bought it for my four year old, expecting it to be too hard and something we could put away for a while before using, but my son loves it. At first he just played with the cars, but he soon became interested in the game itself. He quickly learned the rules and would count out the steps for the cars. The game reenforced his basic counting skills, improved his concentration on following rules and peaked his interest in strategy. Then, after he goes to bed, it is a great game for mom and dad too! All around, a bitchin' game!
