Looks interesting. I like that there's a variety in the color cards and what they do similar to Quacks and their ingredients. I don't have any 'race' games and not sure which would be good for 2 or 3 players. This could be something to at down the line. There's so much I already invested in KS wise so this may be something I may trade for down the road.

This game makes me happy. I've always loved the dice bag building and dice/card gameplay variety of Quarriors, but I've always thought the actual thing you did with the dice was a bit of a bust. Adding a CCG element with Dice Masters made that worse not better for me. This game appears to have most of the stuff I like, only attached to a race game instead. I'm excited to get a copy and it's already on the christmas list.

I’ve got to say Tom, I disagree about the boxes. I creased them and folded them really well before I tried pushing them into the box, and that worked really well. And for a game with this many components, setup is really fast! I just pour the dice into my hand, and then turn it over and drop them on top. I hope this makes you feel better about them because I also enjoy this game a lot :)

I love Automobiles, and switching the cubes for dice where you get to choose which ones you roll instead of just drawing them out of a bag for more control is very intersting (I like Quarriors too). But the theme and art choices for Cubitos really don't suit me. I'm too old for having fond memories of Spongebob, I've never played Minecraft, to me it's just plain silly and ugly (and lazy but no, not funny : too easy to be funny). I know it's a matter of taste, but I don't think I'd like watching at these for an entire game. Too bad.

The mechanics sounds great, but two things turn me off right away. 1. The theme is annoying as all hell, and is clearly targeted at 6yo girls. Side Note: I didn't know Milton Bradley was still designing games. 2. A RACE?? Really?? You couldn't think of a better way to implement this great combination of mechanics?? I thought this was for 6yo GIRLS, not 6yo BOYS. Well, hopefully Milton Bradley takes this learning experience, and designs something much more practical with the mechanics, similar to modern day game companies like AEG.
