If ever there was a perfect holiday gift, the Anki Overdrive Starter Kit has to be it. It hearkens back to the days when children used to play with physical objects instead of just cell phones and iPads, but it rockets physical toys into the modern era by letting you race cars around a track with your smartphone. It retails for $149.99 and it’s been down around $110 a few times, but Amazon’s Cyber Monday deal drops the price all the way to $97.74. Definitely pick one up soon before they sell out.
Here’s what you need to know from the product page:
- Use your mobile device to take command of real robotic Supercars in Anki OVERDRIVE.
- Build up to eight battlefields in seconds with the Starter Kit.
- Battle and race against friends or AI controlled vehicles. Wifi required for battles between iOS and Android devices
- An Anki OVERDRIVE Starter Kit and a compatible mobile device are required to play.
- Expand the battle with expansion tracks, Supercars and the all-new Supertrucks.
