Pros: Excellent game, quiet, can use anywhere
Cons: none

My son got this for his 7th birthday and my husband and I love it, we actually play it more than he does, no just kidding. Great game, can be used in the car or at home. Problem solving skills used for this game, easy to self correct-this is the toy that I now buy for every birthday party we go to!! Love it!

We are giving every 6-year old friend a Rush Hour Jr game this year. It is great for helping them to settle down without yelling! Parents can rest knowing their child is developing his analytical skills and can let him go solo or mom and dad can play along. Especially good for Kindergarten and First Grade boys for which it is so hard to buy "non-commercial." As the children age out of Rush Hour Jr, encourage the parents to buy the expandable Rush Hour game -- or give it as another gift in a few years!
