10-Four, Good Buddy (1976)

About this game

You're truckin' now! Enter the world of big rigs and Smokies. Players try to get their truck all the way around the board before anyone else. Play consists of players drawing a card which instructs them to spin one of the two spinners and possibly move one of two "Smokies" (Highway Patrol) or the "Bear In The Air" (Patroller in a helicopter). Smokies watch one of four "Bear Traps" covering three spaces, or can catch trucks on any space by landing on an adjoining space. The "Bear In The Air" watches one quarter of the board at a time and nabs you if you move more than seven spaces on your turn. This game gives a really big dose of CB slang, and is a lot of fun for the whole family!

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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
