The editors didn't like

  • It takes up a lot of space. The length and girth of the Anki Overdrive tracks means that people in smaller residencies would struggle to get much expansion out of it
  • The Anki app is pretty intuitive but it does stutter. It often confused new matches an
  • Not quite as costly as actual motor racing
  • But Anki ain't cheap
  • There's more to do here than with classic slot cars
  • But not a huge amount
  • Need phone or tablet per car to control
  • Frustration when the cars go off the track
  • At times it feels like the cars are controlling themselves
  • Cannot control all aspects of racing
  • Storage of tracks can be difficult
  • App very heavy
  • Not cheap to expand
  • Will eat up your free time
  • Must have smart device to play
