Soul Desert Cars
About
Small, inexpensive remote control cars.
Again, not a board game, but they were in the game room and since I covered the Zip Zaps I thought it would be interesting to do a bit of a compare. So how do the 2021 Soul Desert Cars fair when compared to the 2003 Zip Zaps? No comparison, these are a 10/10 and the Zips about a 4/10.
At the time of this writing you can find these at Walmart for about $15.

I'm simply amazed at what you can purchase for $15 a car in 2021. I was worried at first because they kept spinning out on the hardwoods, but once I took them upstairs to the carpet they held like glue around turns. You get just under 15 minutes on a 30 min charge and that works well. I've handed them to old and young and they have been a big hit with everyone. There is just something fun about running a little remote car all around the room.

What's great about these little cars is the amount of handling they have considering their weight and speed. You can really whip them around and get through tough spaces. Everyone loves them, and you can see everyone has a great time regardless if they feel silly running an RC car around recklessly. It is always a great time between trying to test others or just yourself on difficult courses or just straight speed.
