Rush Hour is the premier sliding block game that challenges beginners and experts alike. Get your Red Car through the exit. Slide the Blocking Cars and Trucks out of your way until the path is clear. Includes 40 Challenges & Solutions (Beginner to Expert) Instructions 1 Red Car 4 Blocking Trucks 11 Blocking Cars 1 Traffic Grid How to play Review: your very own M25 in a bag - Rush Hour has to be one of our best toy discoveries of the year - it's a portable puzzle game that has everyone who has played with it in this house from age 6-70 enthralled. The game consists of a plastic box with a 6x6 grid on it, 42 game cards and, as the name of the game would suggest a number of vehicles (4 trucks and 12 cars) that fit onto the grid and are the pieces you play with. Everything is compact - the grid is about 13.5cm by 16cm, and fits into a small drawstring bag, making the game very transportable and quick to set up. Game play is simple but engaging - in theory it's for one person to play at a time but we quite often find that one person will play and several more will get involved leading to co-operative puzzle solving and much discussion and scratching of heads. The basic idea is to use one of the cards to set up a traffic jam of trucks and cars, these being variously 2 or 3 squares long of the grid, and then to free the red car and let it "drive" out of the gap in the grid, a bit like the illustration on the packaging as seen above. The cards show in pictorial form how to lay out the cars and lorries horizontally and vertically. To make it easy the pieces are all totally different colours and made of a hollow, light, but robust plastic. Once you have the game is set up you move the vehicles forward and backwards, but in no other direction, as much as you want until you find the sequence to free the red car. It's a bit like tetris in reverse and instantly addictive. I like the fact that there is a little drawer in the grid to store the game cards and the game itself is expandable as you can buy more cards and special vehicles. We have just stuck the basic game so far, the cards come in three different challenge levels and have kept members of this house amused for hours. A card can take seconds or up to an hour to solve, it depends on the complexity of the card and the skill of the player. The solution is printed on the back if the jam becomes too much, when playing you really do have to think about how to work out the puzzle it's great fun but also can get quite frustrating as you wonder how a few pieces of plastic can have you so stumped! The set is pretty well made and well worth the purchase price in my opinion, it's definitely a great item to fill an ideal five minutes or the tricky time for children in a restaurant when colouring no longer appeals. I like the fact that it is so tactile - the game is available on i-Pad also but somehow in 2-D, though it is to all intents and purposes identical, is much less involving than having to physically push real pieces around a board. I'm not a huge board game fan in general but this game is great, and it's a real must-have for holidays. There is a junior version available Rush Hour Junior but this one is suitable for anyone aged 4 or above who will be able to access it in different ways, with the very youngest setting out and pushing around the cars and older players enjoying the very real challenge that such a fun looking game can provide. Highly recommended. Review: Fun, makes you think and ideal to travel with - Like many of the reviewers here I bought this game for a kid's birthday, in this case my 9 year old niece. On the day I spent more time playing it than she did (which she wasn't entirely happy about!). The game itself consists of a plastic gameboard, the size of a desk calculator, in which there is a drawer holding the puzzle cards. The board and game pieces (around 20 pieces) come in a handy carry bag. You'll need the carry bag to keep everything together neatly, but you don't need to tip the whole contents out to find the pieces you need, since there are not many of them and they are not tiny. As a side note, since the pieces are not tiny and are brightly coloured you can easily find them if they fall on the ground. As the playing the game, well it really makes you think and is also very fun. You get a smug feeling of superiority when you finally manage to figure the puzzle out. The puzzle difficulty ranges from very easy indeed to ferociously difficult. The hardest puzzles had me stumped and I am supposed to be pretty clever! But don't worry, the puzzle cards also have the answers (on the back) so you can figure it out like that if you need to! Although there are 'only' 60 cards or so, they are easily replayable as you are not going to remember the pemutations of every one. I recommend this game, fun for all ages, intelligent and easily portable. I'm already looking forward to visting my brother again so I can have another go... ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

My 6yo can do the junior one so trying to find out if this is worthwhile or looking elsewhere** A: Different challenges with more cars I think **Q: Can this be a game for adults?** A: It certainly can. The harder levels are challenging for any adult. **Q: Can this be used on a journey - in a car on on a plane? Are the cars firmly fixed on the board as you slide them or could they fall off?** A: It's possible to use on a journey that has a table e.g. Train or plane, the, vehicles aren't firmly fixed as the game would work, it's more of one person game, my kids love it for holidays. **Q: Can you buy extra cards** A: Unfortunately we do not sell extra cards. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ your very own M25 in a bag *by A***Z on 24 July 2012* Rush Hour has to be one of our best toy discoveries of the year - it's a portable puzzle game that has everyone who has played with it in this house from age 6-70 enthralled.
