Anki Overdrive slot car set $119 @ Amazon

Know nothing about it other than it's like a slot car set, it's got very good reviews, and it's the cheapest it's ever been according to camel camel camel. Seems like a cool X-mas gift for the kiddies.

I've played Anki, it's actually really fun. It's so much better than the types of slot cars that I had when I was a kid with copper wire contacts.

It's actually a game, you steer the car, try to shoot your opponents, and adjust the speed of the car all in hope of winning the race. Think of it like Vigilante 8 with physical cars. You also level your car up and spend your earnings on upgrades which adjust the characteristics of your car.

My nephew has one of these and it is actually a LOT of fun. They work surprisingly well and are great for family get together s with kids.
