GraviTrax - Starter Set Lite

The GraviTrax Starter Set Lite is an educational and engaging board game designed for 1 or more players aged 8 and up. It is an excellent introduction to the world of STEM, particularly physics, as it allows players to experiment with gravity, magnetism, and kinetic energy while building their own marble run system.

Key Features:

• Creative Construction: Players can create a variety of tracks using a variety of components to guide marbles along a path. They can experiment with different elements, including intersections, turns, and drops, to test how gravity and momentum influence the marbles' movements.
• Hands-On Learning: The set encourages creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving by allowing players to design unique marble runs and discover how different variables affect their construction.
• Accessible for All Ages: With simple mechanics, the game is easy to understand and set up, making it suitable for both younger children and adults who enjoy experimenting with physical principles in a fun and interactive way.

Components:

• 1 marble run board for building
• 1 clear platform for visualizing marble movement
• 9 track pieces
• 1 magnetic cannon to launch marbles
• 17 additional accessories to enhance the track
• 3 marbles for testing the run
• 1 intersection piece to combine different paths
• 7 turn pieces for adding complexity to the run
• Easy-to-follow instructions

Educational Value:

GraviTrax helps teach the fundamentals of physics in a hands-on way. Players learn about momentum, gravity, and how different materials and configurations can affect the movement of marbles. It’s a great tool for sparking interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.

How It Works:

Players use the various track pieces to create a marble run, experimenting with different designs to see how they affect the speed and trajectory of the marbles. The goal is to construct a smooth, flowing path that guides the marbles from start to finish. With every turn, players can adjust their designs and test the results, learning about the cause and effect of their creations.
