Initially, the game I received came with instructions for a different game. However, since the company’s website offers downloadable PDFs of all their rules, I was able to resolve the issue easily. I also reached out to them, hoping to get a full-color version of the rules. This game is a more captivating alternative to something like Candyland, particularly for adults, as it incorporates a level of strategy. I had vowed as a parent to avoid playing Candyland or Chutes and Ladders if possible, and this game meets that criteria nicely. However, younger kids might struggle with the card aspect where they need to keep their chosen snails secret. It could be better for them to start by openly supporting one or two colors, even if it diminishes some of the surprisingly subtle strategy of the complete game. The tin serves as part of the playing surface and adds a 3D element to the race, which significantly enhances the overall experience.

We used simplified rules for our initial games. The replay value is high, and it’s a lot of fun racing snails up the box.

I gave this to my 7-year-old for his birthday, and he absolutely LOVES it, as do I. The game involves arranging the snails to match the pattern on a card. Usually, each player pulls a card with a different pattern and moves their pieces to complete their “hand,” but we often just pull one card and aim for that specific pattern instead, so it’s not really about “winning.” This is great because my child HATES losing (and who can blame him?). The game box is also not something you’ll toss out; every part of the packaging serves a purpose, making the box an integral part of the game. This would be perfect for kids in 1st through 5th grade.

My six-year-old daughter was able to win quite easily, which makes me happy! However, it wasn’t too simple for her. She still had to strategize to make her snails more likely to win the race in order to secure her bet. That’s what I appreciate about Haba games; they always incorporate an element of strategy or prediction, along with an engaging material aspect (like Kayanak with paper-poking, Rhino Hero with cardboard tower-building, and Snail Sprint with magnetic snails). These games are excellent for early elementary students.
