Coding Board Game: Rover Control

This is the second of games in the //Code programing game series. Having played with the On The Brink game I was familial with what to expect as far as instructions go and had a better understanding of what the game was trying to get me to accomplish. I also knew that reading the instruction first was going to make a whole lot of difference. The videos online are a good help but in my opinion you should read the instruction first then try it out and if you still have questions then watch the videos.

I love the concept behind this game. The beginner level is a good start and working through them one to master them in order is very fun. They seem to build on each other so stretches your mind and slowly brings up your level of understanding.  Just  to keep things from becoming frustrating they have included a solutions manual which I have found beneficial not because it gives me the answer but because it helps me see where I have gone wrong and allows me to better teach and understand the steps I need to take. I have not made it to the advanced or expert levels yet but look forward to getting there.

Another characteristic of this game that I love is that although it is teaching about programming it is played completely screen free and has a fairly minimalistic approach as far as supplies and pieces.


From packaging to play I have no issues with it so I rate this game a 5 out of 5 stars.
