During the slippery snail race in Mrs. Meyer’s vegetable garden in Snail Sprint!, Sebastian Schneck, Gloria Glibber, and friends move forward at a snail’s pace, but that doesn’t prevent them from creeping over each other or slipping past one another. Lucky dice rolls and skillful moves will get your snails to the winner’s podium to receive the most points and win!

Played with simplified rules for first games. Good replay ability and great joy racing snails up the box.

Trying to Bet on Snail Races-Pretty Fun!
My daughter could win it pretty easily at six…which makes me happy! However, it is not too easy for her. She still had to try to figure out how to make her snails more likely to win the race so that she could win her bet. That is why I like Haba games. There is always an added element of thinking or prediction and there is always an interesting material aspect (Kayanak -poking paper holes, Rhino Hero-building card board towers, Snail Sprint-magnetic snails). They are good games for early elementary students.

Helps with Patterns & Strategic Learn. A++
I gave this to my 7-year-old for his birthday. He absolutely LOVES it, and so do I. The game focuses on having the snails end in the pattern you pull on a card. Typically each person is supposed to pull a card with a different pattern, and you move the pieces to help your own “hand”, but we typically just pull one card and go for just that pattern — so you’re not necessarily trying to “win”. (This is huge, especially since my kid HATES losing (can you blame him?).)This isn’t one of those game boards whose box you’ll throw away either – each part of the packaging has a purpose, and the box is actually part of the game.This would probably be great for 1st through 5th graders.

Cute game for groups
This game is super cute. Love that the box is interactive. The directions are a litttttle bit confusing for my elementary speech kids but it is great for groups when they’re all working on different goals.

This is a fantastic game.
My 4 and a half year old loves it and I enjoy it too. A little too advanced for my 2 and a half year old. Reminds me of Royal Turf for kids.
