User Submitted ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr. Reviews (cont...)

The rules are: no moving cars sideways. You have to move them forward or backward based on the direction the vehicles are facing. The beginner cards typically require each vehicle be moved only once before you are able to get the ice cream truck through the traffic. With the advanced cards, you may have to move vehicles a few times as you strategically plan your escape.

This game is not only fun, but helps with organization (setting up the grid) and planning (figuring out how to get your ice cream truck out of a jam). It also gives the kids a sense of accomplishment as they move on to the more difficult cards.

I highly recommend it and we plan on buying the adult version soon!

Great whole family fun!
After reading about Rush Hour, Jr. on this website, I decided to get it for my sons, age 7 and 4. They are both a year older now, and still enjoy it. My oldest is now ready for the "adult" version but the more difficult puzzles of the Jr. game still provide some challenge. An unexpected benefit from this "game" is that my sons love to watch each other play and offer encouragement and sometimes advice, and neither gets discouraged when he gets stuck--how great is it to see that?

It also travels really well, we take it in the car for our frequent long trips and take it on the boat to play during snack time.

Parents--I definitely recommend both Rush Hour versions and the booster cards.

Can't stop playing it
Very crafty of Binary Arts to make a version of Rush Hour that ropes in the younger tykes. Just as addictive and wonderful as the original Rush Hour. We absolutely love this game. It deserves a place in my Toy Hall of Fame (next to my Mr. Machine and Tiny Tears doll).

The whole family loves this game
I bought this for my 6 year old son. He loves cars and I was wanting an educational game. He has had a blast with this game. He is able to set up the patterns and work the easier puzzles himself. My husband and I have had fun with the expert level puzzles. This is a GREAT game !!
