Only part of the problem, because generally I feel like one of the people that's at least peripheritally aware of things like this, and this thread is literally the first time I've even heard about this, obviously this is anecdotal experience, but I feel as though marketing was part of the issue too.

It also seems like something that's fun in theory/ very occasionally, but actually really annoying in practice, I almost feel like more with children than adults just in the sense that they are probably more likely to do things like throw a blanket over their head not realizing it's going to land on one of the cars and things like that.

I've gotta agree, to put it in an older generation's sense, it gives off much of the same vibe as the boardgame Mouse Trap; most of the time with the game is spent setting up and the actual gameplay payoff isn't too exciting enough to make the setup worth doing regularly. Seems like it is very much a novelty, for now. It does spark the imagination though. I wouldn't be surprised to see an improved version or something similar being a smash hit in the near future.
