PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Crash Cup Karambolage

Snip to win

 

Six race car drivers race each other for victory in three different events, in all of them you basically snip your race car, that is, a wooden disc, along the track or within an arena.

In version 1, Rumpelraserei, you set up a square arena with the boundary blocks and all eight sideline banners, six race discs are laid out in a circle in the middle of the arena. You roll both color dice and try to make the disc of one of the colors touch the disc of the other dice color, other discs must not be touched. In version 2, Drift-Derby, you must snip - again within the arena - any of the car discs, which are arranged along the banner sides, so that it passes in between the two car discs that were previously determined by rolling the color dice.

For version 3, Haba Grand Prix, you set up a race track using boundary blocks and sideline banners, power-up chips are distributed along the track. Each player has one race car disc. Before each turn you may arrange the drift block at any spot on the track for assistance purposes. When the disc falls off the table or touches a sideline banner, it is turned over to its „damaged“ side and - if this happens again - it is disqualified, but can enter the race again later. If you hit a power-up chip, you may draw an action chip which you either have to implement instantly or may use in your next turn. You win if you cross the finish line first after three laps.

1995 this mechanism was awarded „Sonderpreis Kinderspiel der Jury Spiel des Jahres“, this new edition introduces additional variants with as much fun and demands on dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
