High-stakes bidding on million-dollar race cars. Frantic bets placed in secret even as the cars race around the track. And to the victor the biggest purse of all. But in the world of motor racing the margin between victory and defeat can be a single moment: a steep banked turn tires screaming and spitting out smoke and the downforce pressing you down in your seat and keeping you on the track as you make your move inside to pull ahead.Downforce is a card-driven bidding racing and betting game for 2-6 players based on Top Race the award-winning design by the legendary Wolfgang Kramer. Players first bid to own the six cars in the race then they play cards from their hand to speed them around the track. However most cards will also move their opponents' cars.

Whoever has the most money from their prize money winning bets and remaining bank wins.This is a game whose design needed no attention.

Steampunk Rally is a strategy game that incorporates steampunk as more than just a bit of chrome. Using a unique dice-placement mechanism players take on the roles of famous inventors from the turn of the last century like Nikola Tesla and Marie Curie constructing fantastical contraptions that make use of steam heat and electricity in an attempt to win a no-holds-barred race through the Swiss alps.Each round starts with a card draft in which players carefully select machine parts to add to their invention and one-shot boost cards to aid them or hinder opponents. Players also have the option of discarding drafted cards for dice or cogs to power their invention but they must make this tricky choice when each card is drafted.Then after venting dice to revitalize their machines players roll their dice and use them to activate machine parts which provide things like movement shielding and additional dice with which to activate more parts. Driving through terrain causes damage and if a player's damage gauge ends up in the red at the end of the turn they must lose parts from their invention. These will need to be replaced in the draft phase constantly forcing players to discover new synergies.

Hurry to the ship! Twelve houses from our town have already burned down!In Evacuation life on our planet is being burned away thanks to increasingly intense sunlight so everyone is trying to move all the people and factories in their territories from the old planet to a new one — and they have only four rounds in which to do so.You start the game with a full functioning economy and over the course of play you must dismantle that economy and move it. Income on the old planet shrinks over time and production probably won't be much better until you establish yourself on the new planet and kick things into action. Resources can't be mixed across the planets so you need to take special care with your planning.To do this you choose actions from the player board with the expert variant adding cards to your hand that allow you to choose additional actions and combine them. Each action has its own value and the sum of these actions is important for an end of the round bonus. Additionally players move their markers along the orbital track based on the value of their actions.If you can raise production of three resources to level 8 and have three stadiums on the new planet you win. Otherwise players compare scores after four rounds. Evacuation includes modules to add new play options.NOTE: A community FAQ is available here to provide some clarity on Frequently Misplayed Rules.

Thunder Alley is a stock car racing game for 2–7 players with the feel and flexibility of a card-driven simulation. Drafting teamwork accidents yellow flags pit strategy working to lead laps and sprints to the finish are all included and bring the feel of racing to the game. Players control not one car but a team of 3–6 cars. Thus each race is not only a run for the checkered flag but an effort to maximize the score for every car on your team. Winning is important but if only one car crosses the finish line your team might end up outside the winner's circle looking in.The game includes four different types of movement often with many cars moving with the play of a single card and each type has its place and time:Turns are fast each play is important and the track situation is fluid. The wrong movement in the wrong situation can be disastrous with you possibly being left out of the draft and all alone. Experienced players will be able to identify the best type of movement for the current situation.Cars suffer wear over the course of a race and need to take pit stops. Tire wear suspension difficulties fuel issues and major engine and transmission problems are all modeled in the game. If you feel lucky you might try to hold it together just a little bit longer in hopes that a yellow flag will come out and cause a mass rush into the pits. Waiting on a yellow that never comes can be maddening as the rest of the pack moves by your worn-out car. What's more an events deck can make your strategy pay off or punish you for your failure to take precautions. Accidents yellow flags worsening track situations and deteriorating cars are all part of the game. Could all of your perfect strategy be derailed by those incoming rain clouds?Included in the game are four different race tracks: a tri-oval super speedway for wide-open free-wheeling racing and a short track for a tight wheel-to-wheel bumper car duel. Each track uses the same deck of racing cards but the cards that work best on one may be useless in the other. The game also includes a second board with a road course and and 3 turned (triangle) raceway.Most racing games call for a large number of players to play the game at its best. An unusual bonus for Thunder Alley is the very playable and exciting two-player version with six cars on a side.

The Hare & the Tortoise originally published as Royal Turtle is a card-driven betting game about animal racing loosely based on one of Aesop's Fables.At the start of a race each player secretly bets on up to two of five animals: turtle rabbit lamb wolf and fox. One animal is chosen at random for each player then after receiving a hand of seven cards each player places one of his cards face-down (possibly the same animal) as an additional bet. Players then take turns laying down 1-4 cards with all cards needing to show the same animal then refilling the hand to five cards. As soon as eight total cards have been played or four cards of any one animal the animals move (maybe).Each animal has a distinct characteristic that players can use to their advantage. The turtle always moves one space but it moves two if four of its cards were played. The rabbit always moves two spaces as long as cards are played. — unless four cards are played and it's at the head of the pack in which case it sleeps and doesn't move. The fox moves as many spaces as the number of cards played. The lamb moves one more space than the number of cards played — but if it reaches water it stops moving to take a drink. The wolf moves 1 space if one to two cards are played and one less space than the number of cards if more are played. The wolf also has 3 cards with a howl if one of these is played no one but the wolf moves.(The track consists of eleven road cards two covered with water.)After the animals move players start a new round of card-playing. A round ends when three of the five animals reach the goal after which each player scores points based on the ranking of the animals and how they bet. After three rounds the player with the most points wins.The original title of Royal Turtle is a homage to Reiner Knizia's Royal Turf another betting game about animals racing (albeit horses in that game).

The ground trembles under a thousand angry hoofbeats. Wheels creak and reins pull as racers drive their horses forward in a panic.You are a charioteer in the Circus Maximus the greatest raceway in the ancient world.Three hundred thousand fans are on their feet as you turn the final corner. This is not the finish they expected. You lead by a length and only one rival remains; each throws the last of their energy into one final sprint. Many thousands are despondent other thousands exultant and joyous. Their shouts become a roar a long scream as you surge for the finish line. Another hundred yards will make you a hero.Charioteer is a new game from Sekigahara: The Unification of Japan author Matt Calkins. Like Matt's previous games Charioteer features simple rules quick play and novel mechanisms.Charioteer is a strategic racing game that plays in one hour. Each player controls a chariot in the Circus Maximus of ancient Rome. There's lots of action and it happens quickly with simultaneous move selection.Movement is determined by melding sets from a hand of cards. Every card does more than one thing and it takes multiple matching cards to make a move. Choosing to use a card in one set means deciding not to use it in another. Timing when to make a critical move is as important as knowing what move to make.Moves come in four colors and each has a special advantage. Play a red move to attack your opponents yellow to recover from disruption black to turn a sharp corner and green to sprint.Each racer begins the game with different abilities and they improve their skills as the race progresses leading to big bonuses in their favorite types of moves. Show the emperor the kind of move he prefers and a racer's skills will increase even faster.Players deploy tokens to give their moves a special bonus. More tokens can be earned by impressing the crowd with large matching card plays. Players may choose to delay using their best sets until they're big enough to qualify for a fan token.Some races will be violent and others calm depending upon whether the players and emperor behave disruptively. Attacks cause damage which reduces movement speed. Players who specialize in recovery moves may overcome damage quickly. Others may need to carefully deploy their shields on turns when violence is expected.It's not always clear who's winning the race. Being in front of the pack may not be as important as developing a critical skill collecting powerful tokens or keeping damage low. Whip icons allow those who have fallen behind to surge back into competition.Charioteer is easy to learn. It can be played by bright kids as well as adults. Despite its accessibility it is a game of skill.—description from the publisher

Originally announced as an extension of Leader 1 Leader 1: Hell of the North has since transformed into a standalone game albeit one in which the components can be used in the original game from whence this one came.Game play is similar to that in the original game: Each of the teams includes different types of cyclists. Every cyclist enjoys the benefits of a free base movement which varies according to his specialty and according to the hexagon at the beginning of his movement. After this kind of movement every racer can add a paying movement. Therefore the race is based on the riders' energy management: initially the riders are all inside the peloton where it is easier to save energy but then they will have to find the proper moment to break away to open the definitive gap ahead of the peloton.Hell of the North is a slang term for a one-day bicycle race originally from Paris to Roubaix that includes many sections of cobbled roads sections that often lead to damaged bikes falls and unexpected race results. A mix of new terrain including cobblestoned sections is included in the game with forty new tracks on twenty hexagonal tiles. New miniatures are included that match the size of those in the original game and the game includes new rider characteristics according to Ghenos' Alfredo Genovese to go with the miniatures. While game play is similar to that of the original game the rules have been revised and updated.

Comet is characterized by fast gameplay despite high variability and strategic depth. In the prehistoric past you try to save extinct and endangered species from their final extinction. So you do nothing less than change the course of history! You can cleverly combine card skills to save the animals from the threatening comet.The basic techniques and rules of the game are quickly learned. However this does not mean that Comet is quickly mastered! Each game presents a new challenge as you must cleverly adapt to your opponent's actions in order to win.1. You can make animals hatch to use their card abilities after you have moved them to the safe cavern. Saved animals will score rescue points in different ways at the end of the game. However you also need other animal cards to move your saviors around the board (and thus move your animals to safety). Be careful how you use your cards!2. Different types of cards deepen the strategic choices. Skillfully use the ability of your asymmetrical hero cards and optimize the possibilities of the silver and golden animal cards. When the pile of silver cards is used up the comet phase begins and initiates the end of the game.3. Even the movements on the game board want to be well planned. Opposing saviors can be jumped over to reach the save cavern faster - this can be good for you or your fellow players.—description from the publisher

In 1971 John Reilly and Tom Divoll designed a racing game that relied purely on skill. Published by 3M it was called Speed Circuit.Championship Formula Racing is a redesign and reimagining of that game. While skill remains paramount in car design (where players build a car's attributes for the race--start speed acceleration deceleration top speed and tires) and in running the race the game has changed to include rules for:- new tracks (to allow a dozen cars to race competitively) - drone cars to fill out a race field (up to 12 cars in a field now) which will race competitively - historical racers - rules for differing types of tires and pitting - eliminate the need for a speed log using a more modern system of record-keeping in its place

Wacky Races: The Board Game puts players in the driver's seat with control of their favorite drivers from the cartoon series including The Slag Brothers The Gruesome Twosome Penelope Pitstop Peter Perfect and more each with their own car equipped with special abilities. They compete against each other as well as the game-controlled mustachioed Dick Dastardly and his wheezy pup Muttley.Races are simple yet strategic as players place cards indicating the terrain tiles to which their racer will move with the last card played indicating where Dastardly and Muttley will end up. However it wouldn't be wacky without a little trouble standing in the way. Racers need to dodge or negate traps set by Dastardly as he attempts to stay ahead of the pack. Racers can choose between single races lasting 10-15 minutes or the Championship mode which offers unique rulesets changing from race-to-race before a winner is named.Wacky Races: The Board Game will be released in both a regular and a deluxe edition with the deluxe edition including pre-painted miniatures while the regular edition will have one-color miniatures.—description from the publisher

Why First? is a racing game in which players vie to be second in order to win.The game lasts five races with each race lasting five turns. At the start of each race players receive a hand of five cards with each card bearing a value from -4 to +5. The players' pawns start each race on 0 of the racing track. Each turn players choose a card from their hands and choose which pawn to move with this card then reveal them simultaneously and move the selected pawns forward or backward based on the cards they played.After five turns the race ends and the player in second place on the racing track wins scoring a number of points equal to his position on the race track. All other players score nothing. (If the winner is in the negative portion of the racing track he loses points instead.) After five races sum all of the points scored; the player with the second highest total who has won at least one race wins.This revised version of Why First? has new rules including simultaneous actions by players that cuts down the playing time from the original release.

In the bleak future after the collapse of our modern technological world most of the structures we hold dearly today are no longer effective. The things that brought us comfort and ease have fallen into disrepair and disuse. Central governments have given way to localized strongmen. In some places the world is nothing but a vast wasteland and in other locals mankind thrives by calling back to its pre-modern lifestyle.Through it all men still choose to compete and challenge each other in the various arenas. Auto racing is one of these sports that will not die. But the rules no longer apply. The racing circuits are no longer about speed and guile. Now they resemble high speed demolition derbies. The most famous organized racing competition of them all the Apocalypse Road is run by callous thugs and monsters who encourage drivers to arm their cars and literally destroy their opponents. It is the Roman Coliseum reincarnated.Over time new rules and organizational structures have taken hold. Ten teams now complete across the Thunderverse in a season-long show of firepower and twisted metal. Drivers work as part of a team struggling to complete laps under machine gun and even missile fire. The tracks falling into decades of disrepair are a jumbled mess of jumps joker lanes and dirt. Much like the gladiators of old in a time of intense anguish the chance to be a hero even for a day calls drivers out to risk life and limb for wealth and food. The arena beckons will you take the wheel?Apocalypse Road is a race game using the Thunder Alley/Grand Prix engine. Players attempt to score points by crossing the finish line (somewhat like roller derby) and by eliminating opposing cars. The first team to 15 points wins the event and gets a double portion of foodstuffs as a reward.In Apocalypse Road a race is played to the accumulation of 15 skins for a team. A Skin may be scored in two ways.Each time a car crosses the Finish Line is worth 1 Skin. Each opposing car that is eliminated during your activation is worth 1 Skin. There is no leading and there is no tracking of lapped cars.

In the dice game Da ist der Wurm drin players want to be the first to have their worm poke its head out of the compost heap at the end of the garden.To set up the game board attach a smaller game board with two slots in it to the larger game board on which the worms will crawl. The first slot has a row of daisies by it while the second slot has a row of strawberries. Each player chooses a color and places the worm head of that color in the appropriate track on the game board.On a turn a player rolls the die then places the appropriately colored worm section into the track holding his worm. The worm sections come in six colors and range from 1 cm to 6 cm long. On any turn a player can place her daisy (or strawberry) tile above the worm that she thinks will reach the daisies (or strawberries) first. If that worm does indeed poke its head into view through the slot before any other then that player can add the daisy (or strawberry) tile to her own worm. (Choose wrong and you discard your tile.)The first worm to poke its head out from under the far edge of the smaller game board wins.

The robot was advancing fast towards the base loaded with crystals – but the opponent team's robot was nearing. 'Bzzzzt!' Lightning sparked briefly and the Bot changed course to unload the crystal a few meters from his base his programming slightly jammed by the shock wave. The opponent Bot immediately loaded the crystal and proceed to rejoin his base; two other Bots were nearing and they didn't look too friendly! The mechanic sighed heavily as he knew this would inevitably end up in a melee damaged Bots and long hours in the repair shop afterwards...In Twin Tin Bots the robot-programming game for the new generation many corporations have invested in crystal mining after they were discovered as a potent energy source. They designed and improved robots to harvest crystals and a few people can now run a big crystal harvesting rig. Many teams work on the same harvesting plant but the game's always on to bring more crystals back than the others.In the game each player programs two robots to harvest crystals from the game board and bring them back to his base. The catch is that robots repeat their programming but changes to the program from turn to turn are limited. Robots can also interact with other robots so even the best laid plans can end up slightly different than expected.The player who harvests the most valuable crystals wins.

In 1978 four friends experience a nightmarish ordeal. Steve Randy Ginger and Dawn innocently set out to camp and enjoy the countryside near a small town on Halloween. Unfortunately their car breaks down and they meet with pure darkness the Psycho Raiders once they are on your trail they hunt to the death...This horrifying halloween night may not be survived. The true story of what happened on this fateful evening comes alive in the pages and gameplay of Halloween Nightmares.Psycho Raiders is a horror simulation experience. Unlike games that tend to aim for perfect balance Psycho Raiders' main focus is delivering the terrifying experience that occurred on this Halloween night. Characters and situations are not balanced to equal one another but created to simulate the actual experience. The game begins very slanted to the raiders they will assuredly destroy if fighting just ill prepared campers. Through the use of finding weapons or alerting the nearby town folk of Crucible the campers can possibly turn the tables on the raiders. But there may also be a horrid realization that certain town folk are raiders themselves. The campers may not be able to trust anyone! It might be best to run! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!Psycho Raiders is a tactical hex and counter game with each token representing an individual character. Characters have sheets with some individual stats related to speed strength and will to live. In the short game the campers can win if any of them escape the north end of the map while hidden.Psycho Raiders is a very visceral experience and we have rated it X. Anyone one under the age of 18 is NOT permitted to play. Pregnant or players with a fragile or nervous disposition are strongly encouraged NOT TO PLAY THIS GAME!GAME COMIC CREATED BY CHARLIE FOGEL!Note: Psycho Raiders is the first game featured in our Halloween Nightmares Horrorgame Magazine a game magazine dedicated to Halloween and the Horrorgame genre.

Dustrunner is a solo-only game that will have you attempting to race across a post-nuclear wasteland in your all-terrain cyberpunk vehicle while fending off persistent raiders Orwellian spybots and earth-shaking dust worms. As the player you will be presented with choice after choice that will set the course of the game. You will feel responsible for both your losses and your victories. Are you ready to make a dustrun?You will begin the game by constructing a vehicle for your dustrun by combining cards to create the perfect mix. You will then equip your vehicle with modifications to produce the perfect dustrunner.In Dustrunner you will be using the core mechanic of drawing two cards face-down and picking one to reveal. You may decide to resolve the first card and discard the second without looking at it or you may pass on the first but must then resolve the second. This mechanic is great at creating tension and choice. Enemy cards drawn as the 2nd card have more health making passing on a raider as a first card all the bit more scary.There is only one way to win Dustrunner and that is to reach your base before either the raiders catch you or you lose all your health. Dustrunner is not a beat your own score game. You either reach the base and win or you lose. However there is a scoring system in place for folks who do like to see how well they did.—description from the publisher

In a course built in our solar system players are spaceship (powership) pilots. The pilots try to manouver their powership quickly while rounding three space buoys and finally landing on the finish planet.The modular board in Powerships consists of 16 tiles to build different solar system constellations. Altogether this board contains about 662 race hexagon spaces around the sun with all solar system planets and several space dust hexagons in between.The dice system with 3-sided dice simulates accelerating and decelerating. At the start of each turn you have your dice showing your speed from your former turn. You may add or remove 1 die maximum. For the dice you keep from your former turn you can choose which to roll and which to keep unchanged! Then before moving your powership you can turn it one side to the left or right in its hexagon space. Now move it by the speed determined by the sum of the numbers on your dice.Finding the best route for your powership is a challenge because space dust planets and the sun block your paths. Crashing into them makes you lose your speed and damages your powership which limits your maximum number of dice. Other powerships might possibly occupy your desired space though you can also use them as a bumper to reach a desired space.Special spaces make your powership shift a space turn to the left or right double your speed or make you move over/under obstacles.

In Disc Duelers players control a team of 3-5 characters which are drafted during the initial set-up. Each of the 52 characters is represented by a card and a disc. The card shows ratings for movement and attacks plus a special ability. The game can be played on any flat surface although a four-foot-square table is recommended. Players place everyday objects on the table to act as terrain.On his turn a player activates a character. He may then move and attack by flicking the corresponding disc. A moving disc that hits terrain suffers no damage but hitting other discs causes one damage to the active character. An attacking disc suffers a point of damage if it hits terrain and causes a point of damage to another character if it hits its disc. Knocking a disc into terrain or off the table inflicts an additional point of damage. A character is eliminated when it takes five points of damage. A character's ratings determine how many times it can move and attack each time it is activated. Optional item cards if used can be acquired during play and provide additional actions.Disc Duelers includes several play options including classic elimination point capture (points scored for eliminating a character but that character returns to action) soccer or volleyball with a neutral disc representing the ball and a race.

Dog Royal plays like its predecessor DOG in that the object of the game is for a player (or team) to move his (their) tokens from home to the target area as quickly as possible. Tokens are moved in a clockwise direction along the track on the game board according to the value on the cards played. The first player or team to move all of its tokens to the target area first wins.What distinguishes Dog Royal from Dog are two twists: First Dog Royal includes a number of special cards not present in the previous game. You can move 1-7 spaces switch the location of two tokens draw one token to another like a magnet equal the value of the card previously played and more.Second each of the four tokens controlled by a player bears a symbol – king knight citizen jester – and each such token has a special power. The king for example cannot move more than seven spaces on a turn so all cards with a higher value cannot be used to move the king but the king cannot be bumped off the track by any token other than another king. (Players can choose to keep the symbols face-down and treat all tokens the same if desired.)

With a name like Lemminge you know you're going to be racing little rodents across a finish line of some sort and this design lives up to that promise. Each player controls two lemmings that must make their way across a game board of hexagonal spaces; most spaces contain grassland and can be entered no matter which card a player lays down but some spaces contain special terrain (water hills etc.) that can be entered only when the appropriate card is played.Each player starts with 2-6 cards in hand with the number dependent on the player count. On a turn a player either:Each card is one of five landscape types and numbered 0-4. If the card played is equal to or lower than the value of the top landscape card of the same type then the player adds the values of all landscape cards of this type then moves her lemming up to this many spaces crossing grassland and the depicted landscape type freely. If the card is higher than the top card of the depicted landscape type then discard all cards of this type and start a new pile. Before moving her lemming though she places a bonus landscape hex of this type on the game board — ideally stifling the future movement of her opponents while scooting her own lemming further toward the goal.If one or more lemmings are in your intended path of movement you can push them aside before moving into the space spending one point of movement for each lemming so moved. You can push your own lemming if you set them up right — even across the finish line.The first player to move both of her lemmings across the finish line wins.
