About the game
What you do in a play session
The big highlight of this HABA game is the clever use of the game box as the board itself. It's a brilliant solution that saves table space and puts you in the mood for fun right from the setup. With the use of magnets, the snails can climb up the walls of the box, creating a three-dimensional experience that delights both kids and adults who enjoy a quick, charming filler. The main mechanic revolves around dice rolling, which determines the movement of the competitors. But don't be fooled; although luck is a factor, the game requires small doses of strategy to know which snail to move and how to take advantage of shortcuts or the "piggyback" rides that happen when one snail climbs over another.
Snail Sprint! is the perfect type of game for a relaxed afternoon. It is extremely simple to learn, making it ideal for playing with the little ones or warming up the group before a heavier game. The quality of the components, a trademark of HABA, ensures that the fun lasts for many rounds. The goal is simple: get your snails to the winner's podium and accumulate the most points possible. The interaction between players is constant, as watching the snails climbing the sides of the tin is always a moment for laughter. If you are looking for something light, with an impeccable look, and that won't take hours of your day, Snail Sprint! is a sure choice for your collection. It's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously and delivers exactly what it promises: a fun, magnetic, and charming race that will make you want to play one match after another.
