Product Description
Little ones will learn their colors while playing a fun game. Choose a color snail that you think will come in first and one that will come in last. Roll the wooden die and move the snails that match the colors rolled on the dice. If two of the same colors are rolled, then your snail would move two spaces. Onceall of the snails have reached their color circle at the end of the board, the game is over. Just remember to keep track of which snails were first and which finished last. The players who chose the right snails win.
Editorial Review
So many children's games require an adult to help out or set things up. Not this one. The Snail's Pace Race is a simple game that proceeds at a child's pace. Everything is based on colors, including the dice, without a printed word in sight. Players roll the dice to see which two of the colorful wooden snails they'll move forward one space on the board. No matter how many children play, all six snails enter the race. The goal is to guess which snail will be the first--or the last--to cross the finish line. --Lynne Sampson

 Surprisingly fun for such a simple game August 30, 2010
Zachary Cochran (Knoxville, TN)
Well, this went over well. I've played with three of my kids, the 6-year-old, the 4-year-old, and the 2-year-old. My 4-year-old really adores it. The game couldn't be simpler, but it's still plenty of fun. It gets frequent us. The pieces are quite durable. It's easy to set up and easy to clean up. Really, I couldn't ask for much more.
Now, in the future, we'll start talking about probability and statistics; then we'll be having some fun =).

This game is great. My teaching partner had it when she worked with me, she moved and I felt I had to replace it for my own classroom. The children can work on matching colors, taking turns, predicting a winner, as well as how to "run" the game themselves. The game is great for turn-taking, as well as learning the feeling of teamwork, since they predict which snail will win!! Everyone wins in this game, they have a great time!

My 5 yrs old loves playing this game. The best part is that no one gets upset about losing because the snails are competing not the people!
The First Game My Child Could PLAY!! June 30, 2010

This is a GREAT very first game for toddlers. While it reinforces color recognition, it most importantly taught my just-3 year old to set up a game, roll dice, take turns to move pieces, and cheer on the snails. And all within his 15 minute attention span. We love to talk about which snail might win or lose and why. There is another review that suggests building your own game in the same style...great idea if you don't want to purchase it.
 Great product May 2, 2010

Love this game! My three year old didn't get into it right away but it really is a great concept for a game.
