Over the last few years, board games have enjoyed a surge in popularity. As electronic gadgets have become more and more central in our lives, board games are one effective counter-balance, helping us to put down our phones & tablets for a few hours. Board games help us slow down our pace of life, spend time with friends & family, and compete in good spirits over a kitchen table. One of the most popular board game styles involve the 'racing' mechanic. In some games the objective is to be the first player to reach the end of a track, while in others it may be to be the first to reach a certain number of points. For younger children, learning the rules for these types of games are a great entry point into the wonderful world of board games! Though the player has some choice in what to do, luck dominates in deciding who wins and who loses, making it an excellent game to play for children. At the start of the racing game the player's pawns are placed in the start area of their selected color. Players take turns to throw a single dice. A player must first throw a six to be able to move a pawn from the starting area onto the race track. If they arrive on a space bearing instructions, they proceed as indicated. The winner is the first player to reach the finish line, but they must land exactly on the finish line before they can claim to be the winner!
