Designed for single players, groups of friends, and even teams, the fischertechnik Marble Competition lets you build exciting racetrack models for hours of interactive entertainment! The building kit includes three completely different action-filled models. Kit highlights include the wide, flexible high-speed tracks and wide 180-degree curves for daring passing manoeuvres. The colourful marbles also add a lot of fun, because each player picks a colour and then watches and cheers them on through the fast obstacle course. But don’t celebrate too soon – adjustable roadblocks can slow or stop the marbles, keeping the race exciting to the very end. All three models feature different racing modes with various launching devices.Features: Age: 8 and up Number of parts: 697 About fischertechnikWith fischertechnik, children can experience technology firsthand and learn through play!
