Toys and Games Reviews of ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr.
Customer Review: "I want to do this for the rest of my life!"...
Summary: 5 Stars
... That's what my five-year-old daughter exclaimed on Christmas Day after playing with this toy for about fifteen minutes. In fact, we all were having fun with this simple but challenging logic puzzle game.
What I like about this game:
QUICK SETUP: Open it and get going within a few seconds. Cleanup is quick too. Most other things my daughter is interested in have so much to deal with she is bored before she gets started. This is quick and easy, but not so easy that kids don't get the opportunity to learn the value of setting up and cleaning up.
COLORFUL PIECES: The cars remind me of the board games I played with as a child of the 70s and 80s.
EASY STORAGE: The travel bag is quick and easy to use to store the game or take it with you. The bag still fits neatly inside the box should the box bethe better option for home storage. There are several small pieces that could be lost, but the nature of the game is such that even if one is lost, there are several others the same size that can play the same role. Losing the ice cream truck might be a bummer, but even if that piece were lost the game would still be usable.
NO LICENSED CHARACTERS: While I don't have big issues with Hannah Montana and Star Wars and Barbie and Batman and Sponge Bob etc. etc. etc., it's nice to find a great toy that has NOTHING to do with any of them.
THE BOTTOM LINE: This is a perfect present for bright kids who are quickly bored by the usual toys for their age group, yet equally frustrated by toys intended for older children. In hindsight, I probably would have been better off getting the full version, as my daughter is going through the cards quickly, but I have no regrets with this purchase at all. I have not done so yet, but I intend to try the additional decks of cards that are meant for the adult version as I've read that they are compatible with this as well.
