5.0 out of 5 stars Good practice for Caribbean traffic, December 28, 2008
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Length:: 0:53 Mins

If you're looking for a challenging yet low-tech family game, look no further.

Believe it or not, this one doesn't plug in anywhere, needs no batteries, has no tangles of wire to connect, makes no noise, and best of all, doesn't have hundreds of expensive add-ons, memory cards and other related stuff that you have to buy.

It takes up almost no space, comes with its own little carrier bag, and provides hours of educational fun for all ages.

You can take this on a plane
You can take this on a train
You can take this here or there
You can take this ANYWHERE

What you get:

1. A small plastic game board with a handy storage drawer and a slot for the game card in play
2. A bunch of colored plastic cars and trucks
3. A deck of game cards with clearly illustrated traffic jam situations for different skill levels
4. A drawstring cloth carrier bag

What you do:

1. Start with the Beginner cards and work your way up to the Advanced level
2. Set up the cars on the board as indicated on the card
3. Try to get the little red car to the only exit by driving forward and reversing the vehicles on the board until the way is clear
4. Try not to tear your hair out or use bad language at the vehicles blocking you
5. Try not to peek at the answers on the back of the card

When you're through with this one, there are four additional game sets at ridiculously affordable prices. Each one gives you one more vehicle and another set of game cards.

Believe me, when you graduate from this traffic school you'll be able to drive in the Caribbean without any problems.

Either, but we prefer Ca-ribb-ian here in Guyana

Yes, but can you drive in Beijing traffic after you master this game?
