Win Cars 2 Sorry Sliders game

Are you ready for some bored excitement?
Wait, that came out wrong.  Are you ready for a board game with some excitement and Cars 2?  Yay- better!  LOL
Ok, so at the first look at the box. we see this is Sorry! But a new, fun, Cars 2  new edition!  Sorry! Sliders is a great game where the pace is quicker, the pieces are mobile, and of course the fun is non stop, hehehe.  Also- it’s based on the new kids movie Cars 2- including 4 character pieces from the movie and even some of the great settings from the movie : Radiator Springs, Toyko, Porta Corsa and London.  There are radiation zones and oil slicks, orange cones and all kinds of craziness.  This game is a perfect change of pace for the average board game night.  My kids usually can’t sit still for too long during games, but because of the Cars 2 theme and the kinetic feel to gameplay we actually got through a round of play where everyone played and had fun!  Also the price point is really nice too, $25 retail.  The Hasbro website it is less then $20.  So give it a shot and enjoy yourselves.  But Little gets to be McQueen!  (LOL)
