Dodos Riding Dinos

Wow, what a gorgeous production! Not just the fancy minis but the boards and the hilarious artwork on the cards. Learning from the rule book was a relatively easy experience. Tons of fun in Mariokart style! You might start the race far behind and think you're never going to catch up, but use your character's special ability, play your cards right, and get lucky with your flicks and throws and rolls, and you definitely have a chance to win. Four different tracks with their own special features, you can play a single race or do a Cup Tournament. Lots of replayability.

We absolutely love this game! It is a racing game with dexterity elements incorporated into play. The characters are fun, and four different game boards are included that allow for variation in play. The rule book also suggests other variations, such as tournament play which can be a fun way to extend gameplay. No two games are ever the same, and there is a great deal of interaction between players, which amounts to a lot of fun. The box indicates that the game is for players 14+, but we played with an eleven-year-old who easily learned the rules and now considers it to be a favourite game. I would not hesitate to recommend this game for those even younger (8+).
