Description
On your marks… get set… go! Pull the lever to release a synchronized start and watch as the bright marbles race down a unique track. Somewhat similar to classic marble runs, the Downhill Derby features 6 curvy race panels to rearrange and experiment with, each with a different bend. The track can be arranged in 720 distinct ways! The derby course also features a built-in starter for fair races, along with a ranked finish line panel. Made of high-quality materials, this game incorporates early physics concepts such as mass and gravity. Contents include 8 marbles in 4 colors, a 3-foot-high adjustable track, and 6 rearrangeable panels. ~Sarah E
