Editorial Review

With five levels of play, from junior to expert, Railroad RushHour offers a challenge for kids and grownups alike. The puzzle consists of a sturdy plastic grid, 40 puzzle cards (with solutions on the back) for ages 8 and older, 10 junior challenge cards for ages 6 to 8, 17 brightly colored blocking trains, two blocking baggage platforms, a blue-and-white striped travel pouch, and "you," the little red escape locomotive. Trains are placed on the grid as indicated on each puzzle card. The object is to steer your escape locomotive through the freight yard and out the exit gate indicated. You can warm up your problem-solving skills by getting the puzzle out of the box. All aboard for fun! --Alison Golder

From the creators of Rush Hour, Rush Hour2 and Rush Hour 3 comes Railroad Rush Hour, than train game. Binary has come up with yet another thinking game and another great time.

Given 40 cards, from beginner to expert, and 10 junior cards, for those under 8 years old, you'll spend hours trying to get you train out the maze and to the station.

The game includes a cloth holding sack for easy storage and travel, making this the perfect home, road or away game. Kids and parent will both enjoys the hours fun.

I like the idea of the platform blocking pieces moving in any direction, this adds the strategy. Also this gift is priced to fit any budget and makes a great gift for the hard to buy for. Congratulations Binary Arts on a job well done!

This review is from: Think Fun Railroad Rush Hour (Toy)

This is a wonderful game. For young kids, its better than Binary Arts's regular "Rush Hour" game because it includes some "junior" level cards, but you'll find even 4-5 year olds can do some of the more advanced puzzles, especially with a bit of help. I play this with my kids, so I can help if they get stuck. This has developed their problem-solving skills like nothing else, and since they love trains it's easy to get them to concentrate.

This is one of the best games I have ever bought. My 6-year old and 3-year old daughters love it, and dad does too. You can play it over and over again, because once you solve a puzzle you won't remember how you did it. A WINNER, and I'm waiting to see what they come up with next....
