To say that my 7 year old has a bit of an obsession with
robots would be quite the understatement! So when we found out that there was a HexBug
game out there that featured what he considered to be a real robot, we knew it
would be a hit at our house. Sure enough
Ravensburger has done it again and created a new board game classic in our
home!
Basically, the way the game works is that you are trying to
get your pieces across a no man’s land before the little HexBug runs them
over. This is such a cute idea! If the bug pushes them off their spot, they
must start the course over. This creates
some very tense but incredibly fun moments throughout the course of the
game. More than once our gaming group
was told to “keep it down,” because of all of the cheering and laughing that
was happening.
We played this game with all six of my children at once (we
had teams going). I was surprised that
not only did all of my kids love it from ages 7-15, but also that their 40 year
old dad (myself) was just as enthralled.
What a delightful game!
And on a side note, I cannot tell you how fun it was to see
everyone’s shocked face when they saw the robot bug defy gravity as he crawled
through the clear tubes on either side of the board.
In the end, this was just one heck of a fun and clever game that
my family got a real kick out of. Thanks
again Ravensburger!
