Snow Tails

Huskies racing in Alaska - Itidarod and Musher are the first ideas one has on this topic; players guide their sleighs through the race. Huskies are moved with cards - you start your turn by playing 1-3 husky cards of the same value, then move your sleigh and adjust your cards in hand to five. You can let a sleigh drift, and score bonuses for balanced sleighs. Sleighs can be damaged, resulting in dent cards which count towards the hand limit. The 5th dent card leaves your sleigh broken. Possible danger sources are speeding in bends, crashes with other sleighs and crashing into the track edges,. If you cross the finish line at the end of the round, you have completed the race and the winner is who is furthest behind the finish line.
