Do you remember the old Rubik’s Cube? Could you solve it? I couldn’t do it! lol But let me introduce you to one I can master- Rubik’s Race!
Rubik’s Race – Here’s How it Works
The RUBIK’s Race includes a Scrambler, a device that contains 9 coloured cubes, and a Game Base. The Base allows two players to face one another, separated by a hinged vertical “window,” and provides each player with a 5×5 slide puzzle of 24 tiles comprising of the six iconic cube face colours — white, yellow, orange, red, green and blue.
At the beginning of each round, the Scrambler is shaken to set the target pattern.
The goal for each player is to frantically shift and slide their tiles around and try to be the first to make the 3×3 centre of their puzzle match the target pattern of the RUBIK’s Cube Scrambler. When a player completes the 3×3 target pattern on their board, they drop the window onto their playing area, covering all but the centre 3×3 grid, and declare themselves the winner!
My Thoughts on Rubik’s Race
This is a fast pace game that doesn’t take long to play, you can actually play a few times in a matter of minutes depending on how good you are- or how good your opponent is!
In our opinion the shaker box is much too small and can be difficult for both players to see at once, also the orange stickers on the cubes in the shaker box is not the same colour as the orange on the tiles, it is almost brown actually and this would throw us off as it was hard to tell if it was red or orange from a distance and since they are so small.
The box is labelled 5 and up so we considered giving this to our son for Christmas but after playing it, we learned that it is far too difficult for a 5 year old.
Over all this is a pretty fun game, I actually like to just play by myself as well because my husband is really good and this game and it’s not much fun playing against ‘one of those’ people. I find it just as fun to challenge myself and see how fast I can solve the puzzle.
