HABA Monza - Car Racing Games & Beginner's Board Game, Engaging Family Games for Kids and Adults Ages 5+ (Made in Germany)

Monza is a fantastic game that’s both fun and easy to pick up. It introduces great pattern recognition and simple strategy for young kids. Our 4-year-old loves it, and it’s actually enjoyable for adults to play along too. A great way to get little ones into board games!

Such a fun board game! My kids loved it!

I bought this game to play with my 4 year old soon to be 5 and seeing if I could introduce my 3 year old to it as well...My 3 year old might not be ready yet :) He is too much of and walking tornado still...With my 4-5 year old this game has been great, it teaches her patience, turns and the basics of board gaming. Apart from that this game has mathematical logic in its foundation. If you do follow the full thought process of determining the optimal colors to pick on your path for each play it really teaches a young mind logical thinking, space analysis and observation. This is why I love it the most. This was initially difficult for my kid to comprehend, but she is getting the hold of path testing before making her move and organizing her color dice strategically to see which ones to use first in a play with the intention of gaining more distance or even taking a spot.. its great.. lots of elements for kids to learn from! and its just a beautifully done game. Great first board game to share with your kids!

This is another one of those games where the colorful graphics excited the kids enough to draw our attention to it. After reading the description and the reviews, it looked like a worthy investment.To my surprise, my daughter loves it as much as the boys do! Your moves change with the roll of the dice, and you always have options so there is strategy involved, but it is so simple to learn, kids and adults will enjoy every minute of it. You can look like you're off to a fast start and then get stuck needing a specific color to get past road hazards... or you can suddenly pull well ahead from way behind by creatively being able to use all 6 colors in a lucky toss.This has quickly become a family favorite. It is elegant simplicity, a fun design, the kids love it, we love it.It is small and portable, can be played in small spaces too, making it great for a quick game before bed. Kids learn while having fun. The board is sturdy and thick, the small wooden cars seem fairly durable, and they were kind to include 6 so more people can play. My daughter especially loves the purple car and the white car. The theme is adorable, the concept is enjoyable and once you try it, your family will want to play it over and over again too. Love this!

This is a great intro strategy game. It is simple, but fun. Roll the dice, use all six colors to advance your card the farthest and provide yourself the best options in future rolls (often you can take multiple different routes, and so it teaches planning), and finish first to win!The cars are well made wooden pieces, but small, the dice are nice and made of wood, but the board screams cheap. For 25 dollars, I expected more. The board is the same material I have seen used in 5 dollar games and is a massive letdown as it should be more in the 15 dollar range. I would say the game value isn't there, if it wasn't so fun to play. Even with the cheapness factored in, I am still glad I bought it because it has a lot of replay value.

My 4 year old grandson loved this game

I purchased Monza as a boardgame to play with my 6 year old that wasn't Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, etc. It is simple to learn and requires more thinking than the traditional role and move children's games. My son thoroughly enjoys playing it. He keeps on bringing it out and requests to play it with me. As is the HABA standard, the production quality is excellent with wooden pieces and a sturdy playing board that will stand up to repeated play. Game is not perfect (ok, it is a kids game I don't expect awesome perfection). It is heavily luck dependent (but what kids game of this type isn't) rolling six dice and there are a few spots on the board where you can only move forward if you roll one color. If you don't roll the needed color you're stuck. Once is annoying. A couple of turns in a row and it gets a bit aggravating. But, it is nowhere near as fun killing as in Sorry! or Aggravation where you can go turn after turn after turn unsuccessfully drawing cards or rolling dice needed to move a piece into play. Overall I am very happy with Monza and recommend it as a race themed children's game.I purchased my copy from River Runners (Amazon Marketplace) and am very happy with them. Good price, Prime eligible, fast service/delivery.
