PLAYED FOR YOU

Super Race

Two straights and one curve in blue

Car racing game using dice - well, we have had that a few times already, but Super Race offers an attractive and unusual variant:

You have your own board featuring two different sides and at the start of the game players decide together which side they want to use, either Indianapolis or Monza; the race is run, that is, drawn, counter-clockwise on the board.

In your turn you roll all dice, may re-roll a maximum of two times and set dice aside and reroll dice previously set aside. After three rolls maximum you decide on one of the colors in the result and mark the elements on the board accordingly - you can use elements from dice of any color on the grey squares of the board, on colored squares you can only mark results from dice of the same color.

You cannot enter, that is, mark, a square twice and you cannot branch off from your track, you must continue at its end. If you cannot mark all results in the chosen color you must forfeit your turn results completely.

When the first track has reached or crossed one of the start/finish squares, you win at the end of the round if you went furthest beyond the finish squares. If you play several games for a Championship you score 1 point for each square beyond the finish ones, each square that you would have to mark to reach the finish counts -1 and if you stand on one of the finish squares you do not score. As a variant you can mark oil spots on the track or run the race in clockwise-direction.

Good standard mechanisms in a nice combination, resulting in an attractive family game that is very good for casual players or for families with younger children.
