Brief: TONS of Fun For Kids AND Adults!
Comment: This games is lots of fun to play for short or long trips!
The game comes in a hard, durable "slide box" that opens from the bottom. There are four pads & matching pencils in four colors: orange, blue, green and pink.
Each pad has lots of the same images on it, but a few a different. For instance, the blue pad is the only one that doesn't have a tollgate, a tractor or an airplane image; the orange pad is the only one that doesn't have a pickup truck or a river image; the pink pad doesn't have a cow image; and the green and pink pad don't have a white picket fence image.
It's a really fun game, and the only downfall I see is once you use up your pads, you have to buy a new game. There are no replacement pads. In an effort to make the game more interesting and to save the pads for as long as possible, you can play different variations of Bingo. Such as Blackout, "X", or 2 Row Bingo or whatever!
No instructions come with the game other than this saying on the back:
See it!
Mark it!
Make a row!
... First one done yells
BINGO!
Well if you're playing with someone competitive like MY husband, make sure you establish the rules BEFORE you start the game. Like, is a river and a bayou the same thing? What is a bridge? Does it HAVE to go over water or can an overpass count? What exactly does the trailer image mean? ANY trailer or ONLY one similar to the one pictured? AND do you mark just what you find or do you yell everything out so EVERYONE can mark it off?
I think my dear husband was trying to cheat!
Anyhoo, it doesn't matter. We sure LOVE this game! Also, I know the driver isn't supposed to play, but he/she can yell out things they see for the other players!

Brief: Worth the Price!
Comment: My son was 4½ at the time I purchased this game, and although he understood the concept, he had a hard time spotting the items quick enough to play; thus, we played teams. It was fun, and it kept all of us entertained for at least 45-minutes to an hour. After playing several rounds we realized the pads were different. For example, some pads might have a picket fence and a school, while others had a tractor and a railway crossing sign. We recently made a trip up North with our 13-year old nephew. It's hard to find anything to entertain the boy, but he did seem to enjoy playing this game. I think it's great when you can find a game that will appeal to all age groups.

Comment: It was a wonderful game for the children to play in the car. It would have been nice to have a little more variety in the things they had to find. The format was different, but the cards had the same things to find.
