Like many people, I played around with the huge plastic display at my local gaming stores for a long time before breaking down and buying it and my only complaint is that I hadn't purchased it sooner.

It is very rare that my (at the time) 5 year old, my parents and I could enjoy the same game for many MANY hours, but for the first year I had this game, my daughter wanted to do nothing but play it (especially when I was on a good streak of successful rounds). I quickly bought expansions for it and we never really grow tired of the game. After over two and a half years later we put it down for a few months now and then, but we always "rediscover" later with renewed enthusiasm.

Every time I'd seen Rush Hour on display in the local game store, I'd tinker with it for a few minutes, so finally I broke down and got it several weeks ago, along with the three expansion sets. It's very addictive and a formidable challenge, although not frustratingly so. I can't recommend this enough.
