Rush Hour

Get ready to face real-life traffic (but in a fun way!) with Rush Hour, a game that puts you in the driver's seat of an epic journey from home to the office. But it's not as simple as it sounds: you need to drop off your commuters at their respective places of employment before reaching your final destination. The adventure begins with two commuters, but you might be lucky enough to pick up a few more while still in the neighborhood. Then, it's time to tackle either Interstate 500 or the Suburban Gauntlet, followed by the Beltway Expressway, which even has a Car Pool Express Lane for those with three or more commuters on board – a paradise for carpoolers! The climax of the trip is the Inner City Maze, where navigation becomes even more crucial. You typically roll two dice to determine your movement, but keep an eye out for road signs that can reduce your progress to just one die. And for those who enjoy an extra challenge, the game offers optional rules that simulate traffic jams, fender benders, public parking, double parking, and even a 'baby behind the wheel' – because who hasn't been there, right? This Rush Hour is the 1981 board game, not the famous single-player ThinkFun puzzle, so prepare for a very different and strategy-filled transportation game experience!
