 Original: Three Equalisers
That's why we were initially skeptical when presented with Marble Racer. After all, how exciting can a few marbles tumbling down a winding track be? The answer, dear friends, is difficult to articulate - not because we've run out of adjectives, but because Marble Racer has been such a hit here in the office that we can't focus long enough to think up any decent ones! The incessant noise of racing marbles and the ruckus from hollering employees makes it rather hard to concentrate.
So why the fuss? Well, in a nutshell, Marble Racer is devilishly simple yet fiendishly addictive - a combination that's well known for its potency in gaming circles. Essentially, this is a construction set/marble racing game. Simply build the towers, slot together the track, add the equalizers, place the marbles in the starting gate, twist and away they go!
 Pinball: New finishing with flag
 Pinball: Flip-ping ace!

Every office needs one of these to decide all those crucial workday dilemmas. Who has to make the tea in the morning? Who gets the first round in on a Friday? Who has to sit next to gibbering Maureen from accounts at the Christmas dinner? etc. Each four-player race is random but the way the balls jostle, collide and clunk down the roller coaster course is absolutely mesmerising. We love it!

So simple, like Mouse Trap meets Kerplunk, meets Scalextric - what could be better? Exciting to build, reminscent of building with lego, a long piece then three short pieces and then a yellow bit errrm...tricky to do with a couple of drinks on board. However once built we were off, racing, betting. A word of warning - at around 2am with too much alcohol on board the world of probability kicks in "red balls always win" "no the second one out the trap always wins" "does the last one out ever come first" if you're lucky you'll go to bed before you decide to build a spreadsheet and measure the results. £10 well spent.

There must be funnier sights than two clockwork codgers going hell for leather in their mobility scooters but you'll forget 'em the second you see these oxygen tank-clad geezers in action. Ideal for desktop races. Damon (over the) Hill or Nigel (old) Mansell - you decide!
