My wife was not sure when I told her Pitch Cars Mini would be the perfect Chirstmas gift for our six year old son, lucky my instincts regarding the six year old male mind proved correct. The little gamer has played with game in the week since Christmas almost everyday, has even come up with a version he plays by himself, and has started defining additional "house rules".

Play is simple build a track (which is half the fun), flick the "cars" (basically small round wooden disks), and try to cross the finish line first. Strategy pretty much boils down to do I flick hard and go for the big (but potentially go flying off the track) or do I go slow and steady and that's about it.

While I would not waste a time slot during our guy game night for this game as a father/son or family vacation activity this game rates high.
