Race to the Roof (1974)

About this game

An Exciting Game Of Pursuit... From The Basement To The Attic! Children begin by arranging the rooms of the house, then advance their playing pieces by rolling the die. Each time a player rolls a 6, he or she draws a chance card, searches the house for the object pictured on the card, then moves ahead - or back! - to that spot. Because the house is rearranged before beginning play, the hidden objects will be in a different place each time! The first player to reach the attic window is the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
