Crazy Karts

Formula Nuts!

 

A weird race - you play in teams of two, one player controls brakes and turns, the other speed and cannon, but the team members are not allowed to communicate and do not know what the other one is planning.

The track is laid out with starting part and any two additional parts and equipped with obstacles, rocks or others, at your discretion. Each team chooses a faction and takes the necessary components including a Control Panel for each player. The race comprises Qualifying and Race, after the Qualifying phase players swap control panels.

A round comprises the phases of planning and resolution; planning is done simultaneously by all players; behind their screens, they draw cards according to the current speed and place them on the control panel - the more cards are assigned to an action, the more efficient it is. In order of initiative the planned actions are then resolved: Special ability of the faction - Power Up activation - Special Customization (advanced game only) - Brake - Speed Up - Turn with movement - Shoot - Charging - Repair. If you encounter an obstacle during movement, it is removed and its effect is applied. Hitting a wall or another car causes damage and damage reduces the maximum speed.

For a game with an odd number of players, there is the Lone Wolf faction for use for the single player, featuring special markers for Buff (additional action point) and Malfunction.

Hilarious, chaotic, crazy, incontrollable and lots of fun - not a game for tacticians or thinkers, the game is best when all goes wrong, at least from the point of view of a normally run race! Hope for the best and put down your foot!
