Snow Tails
Race a husky-drawn sled around icy corners and try not to crash.
Who it's for
You like racing games built on card play and risk, and want a course that changes every time. Best with five players.
Not for you if…
You dislike getting knocked out or want a calm, steady game. A bad corner can wreck your whole race.
Vibe's take
Fast, tense and a bit slippery, with plenty of near-misses at corners. Pushing your speed pays off until the dents pile up.
About this game
Snow Tails is a dog sled race through the Arctic where the huskies only know one speed: flat out. You build a course from modular track pieces, then race a sled pulled by two dogs, both rated three at the start, plus a brake. You draw from your own dog deck, play cards onto your sled mat to speed up or steer, and the sled drifts left or right rather than going straight. Take a corner too fast or lose control and you collect Dent cards, which shrink your hand. Not every sled finishes. Two to five players, about an hour.
