Read the verdict and alternativesOur take
A race game with the die built into the board
The Pop-o-Matic enclosure keeps the die from rolling away and gives each turn a physical action. That helps explain the appeal beyond moving pieces around a track. The pop is audible, and sending opponents back remains part of the competition, so the table's tolerance for reversals matters.
- Best fit
- Pressing the die dome and racing against others are both part of what the child wants from a game.
- Before buying
- The pop is audible, and sending opponents back can upset children who dislike setbacks. Match the player count and reading demands to the group before opening the game.
Consider these alternatives
Hasbro Sorry! →
The group specifically enjoys the possibility of interrupting someone else's progress.
Hasbro Candy Land →
Taking turns and following colors is the right starting activity for the group.
A closer look at the trade-offs
The trade-off
Sorry uses cards for its race and setbacks. Candy Land offers an earlier color-based introduction. Choose Trouble when pressing the die dome and racing against others are both part of what the child wants from a game.
