The marbles are made of metal and are decently heavy for their size, so they roll really well and keep their momentum. That's why the GraviTrax products are also marked with the Ravensburger STEM symbol (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).Connect walls, pillars and balconies to form structures with suspended stunts and intricate pathways. The only important thing is that you feel like planning and building action-packed tracks and trying out yourself and your track. The base tiles being cardboard, though, means that they could easily wear out with a lot of play, with the constant insertion/removal of pillars and tiles.

The finish line piece is fun because it is marked, making it labeled as to which marble made it there first, second, and third.

Completely open-ended, every GraviTrax set has a boredom-busting variety of play options for hours of fascinating fun. Tl;dr: All in all, GraviTrax and GraviTrax PRO are incredibly fun marble run sets for STEM-minded kids and adults. Okay: To make it easier to get started in the world of GraviTrax, we have included a small construction plan with the starter set. Develops critical skills – Playing and building with GraviTrax builds spatial reasoning and planning skills, and provides a great stealth learning experience.

Hexes need to be punched out of the four base plates (tip: save these to be used as game pieces for other games you play! And, unlike traditional marble sets, you can use more than just gravity for this one, as the magnetic cannon can push marbles up hills as well as down them ( the Lifter accessory can also help add more potential energy to the system). In addition to the thin hexagonal plates that were included in the original set for stacking together to create height changes, this set comes with pillars, walls, and balconies (that attach to the walls), allowing for even more combinations and possibilities.

There is no disadvantage to having a tunnel through a pillar, and having some without a tunnel limits your options. It was a simple one: put a marble in the top, watch the marble go back and forth, dropping at each side until it skittered into the catch basin at the end.
