jiffypop104Yes The components are nice and sturdy and gameplay is great. Kids sometimes are better than adults. Easy and lots of fun.
Ed the Red95Yes Works pretty well and kids find it exciting. The full size version is better in some ways, but for arms with a small reach this version is probably best.
jtyoshi149  Pitchcar is a favorite for all ages. Dexterity racing game which is very aesthetic. Not very educational but fun.
m_hamburg9  Wonderful game for kids, fun for adults, too. My daughter (who is almost four) can play, though she doesn't quite have the hang of it. Still, she had fun playing. Her seven-year-old friend can beat the adults. I've never played the full-size Pitchcar, but the size of this one seemed good to me; if it was much larger, I'd have a hard time fitting it on my table. The only drawback of this game is the price, which can be between $40 and $60, depending on where you buy it.

Yollege94Yes Seems better for the kids than the full version, although my 4 yr old daughter pulls off miracle shots in both versions. So far they really love this game.
agenteasy8  The idea: Get your car around the track as fast as possible by flicking it with your finger Components: Heavy wood-like material with a slick surface. The cars are little discs with a sticker on them. The tracks do not offer a perfectly level surface, which can be frustrating, but at least the pieces can be put together in many different ways giving the owner many interesting tracks they can build (particularly if you buy more than one set or any of the expansions) The way it works: Each player takes their turn flicking their car around the track. If it flies off, you lose your turn. First one around thre laps wins. Comments: This is a fun dexterity game. Not much to it, but fun none the less. I have played (sort-of) with my 3.5 year old and he liked it a lot. I have also played with an 8 year old and many adults, who have also enjoyed it.

fortgary86Yes Kids of all ages will enjoy flicking the cars around the track, learning to properly aim them takes a bit of practice/patience. But as they get older the full sized version may be more fun.
huber84Yes My sons have enjoyed this for years now; the compact size helps it feel more kid-friendly.
musicmom75Yes This is a pure dexterity game, which makes it a little harder for mixed ages, but the kids love to play it. They also really enjoy changing the shape of the track after each game. If you've got a coordinated kid, age 5 is about right. For those whose flicking muscles haven't kicked in yet, age 7 might be more enjoyable and less frustrating.
Scammer76Yes It's fun, but for my 6 year old, the flicking is a bit problematic. Do believe that the mini version is better for the little ones as it's easier to get around the track (physically for small hands/arms)
Styro7  As an adult, I was disappointed with Pitchcar Mini, but my kids like it and occasionally will ask for it. The youngest (4-5) has a hard time with it but the older two (6-9) do pretty well.
