Stop & Go (1960)

About this game

This is a board game designed to teach non-American children the rules of the road and roadsigns. It utilizes international road signs and traffic signals that change. Age range 8-99. The idea is you visit various addresses drawn from cards but must get there by rolling the dice and obeying all traffic laws and signals as you maneuver your car through the city. Other players also have their goals. It was fun to play as a kid. Probably could be easily adopted to US roadsigns. It would also be useful for adults from North America traveling to other locations, who intend to rent/drive a car there, as a quick way to learn/refresh knowledge on the road signs used in most parts of the world.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
