Ravensburger Snails Pace Race game

Snail's Pace Race can be played by 2-6 players and is aimed primarily at the 3-7 years age group (but anyone can play, really). The game comes in an attractive game box, complete with the game board, six brightly coloured snails and two dice. The object of the game is quite simple: enjoy yourself and have fun because not only the fastest snail wins, the slowest is also a winner.

Start by placing each of the six snails on the starting position on the game board--red snail on red arrow, blue snail on blue arrow and so on. All six snails race every time, no matter how many players are in the game. Each player takes it turn to throw the two colour dice--if you throw blue and red, then the blue and red snails each move on one space on the board. If you throw two yellows, then the yellow snail moves on two spaces on the board. As the game gets underway, each player has to guess which snail will be the first to finish, or which snail will be the last to finish; whatever you prefer!

Who wins? The first snail--the last snail--any snail! Players never lose a turn, never get sent back, and never get knocked off the board. No reading or number skills are required, so there'll be no bad tempers, just lots and lots of fun! --Ben King

Note: not suitable for children under three years of age due to small parts.

Product Description
Little ones will learn their colors while playing a fun game. Choose a color snail that you think will come in first and one that will come in last. Roll the wooden die and move the snails that match the colors rolled on the dice. If two of the same colors are rolled, then your snail would move two spaces. Onceall of the snails have reached their color circle at the end of the board, the game is over. Just remember to keep track of which snails were first and which finished last. The players who chose the right snails win.
