Snail's Pace Race

For my first game review I chose Snail's Pace Race. This is a great game for introducing the youngest of players to board games. The game is cooperative instead of competitive so there are no tears or fights at the end of the game. The snails are racing each other not the players. This game introduces kids to basic game rules, like taking turns and using a dice to determine moves, while helping them learn colors. For older kids you can introduce the concept of estimating and predicting. While Snail's Pace Race is not the most exciting game for adults it does add variety to the standard preschool board games and is much short in duration than Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders. The other huge advantage of this game are the pieces are made of wood so they stand up well to the not so gentle hands of young children. Snail's Pace Race is a high quality game that is great for the young gamer (2-5yrs old).
