Description
This road trip dominoes game swaps the usual dots for bright vehicle illustrations, giving a traditional game a cheerful twist that younger players take to straight away. The set holds 28 card dominoes, each about 10.5cm long and 5.5cm wide, and every half carries a vintage-style vehicle on a bold block of red, yellow, sky blue or green. Red double-decker buses, fire engines, green tractors and a line-up of old-fashioned cars all take their turn. A match comes from spotting the same vehicle rather than counting spots, which makes it an easy first game for little ones still learning their numbers.
We think it belongs on the kitchen table on a rainy afternoon, in the playroom cupboard or in a holiday bag for evenings away. Players take turns laying a domino end to end against a matching vehicle, building a winding road across the table or floor. The rounds are short enough to hold a young child's attention while keeping grown-ups and older brothers and sisters happily involved. It suits any child who points out every bus and tractor on a car journey, and it is a welcome game for grandparents to bring out when the family visits.
Each domino is made from card with a pale border and rounded corners. The backs carry a soft green spotted pattern, so a face-down pile gives nothing away. Everything packs back into its lidded box, about 17.7cm square and 4.2cm deep, and at around 204g the whole set is light enough to slip into a rucksack. As it is card, it is best kept dry. Wipe a sticky mark gently with a barely damp cloth and let it dry flat. Wrapped up, it makes a cheerful gift for a young vehicle fan who is ready for a first proper table game.
