Ed the Red68Some An old game (perhaps a classic?) but still widely available in charity shops and the like, if not new. Basically it's very straightforward, race your car round a track and come in first. The interesting part is that you set your speed each turn (with limitations to acceleration and braking) and can choose whether or not to risk going too fast for corners (and possibly damage your car or even spin off). It's fairly forgiving however, even spinning off only loses you momentum as you start again next turn, so it works with children as they are never out. There is some calculation involved so younger children might be a bit daunted, but it is quite fun, fairly quick and certainly worth a try.
