Rush Hour Shift from ThinkFun!
We have been lucky enough to review many games from ThinkFun and have enjoyed them all. Rush Hour Shift is not the exception! They boys and I were super excited to receive this game. This game is for 2 players, and is tons of fun. In this game, players face off in a strategic battle as they race to cross traffic. The player that can beat their opponent to the opposite side, through the use of some clever strategy and a little bit of luck, is declared the winner. The directions are straightforward and easy to understand.
To start the game, all 3 pieces of the traffic grid are put together and lined up this is the “gameboard”. The players then get to choose one of the game set ups from the back of the rule book and place the vehicles on the grid as shown in the illustration. The cards are shuffled together to form a single deck. Each player is dealt 4 cards face down while the rest of the cards are placed face down on the table to create a draw pile. The players then determine which color hero car they will use. A player is chosen to go first and the game starts!
I really like the nice mesh bag it brings to store all the pieces of the game. This bag definitely makes cleanup easy. And it’s the perfect size to take on trips!
