Draft a steam-powered racer from historic inventors' parts and race it until the pieces fly off.
You are an ingenious inventor from history, and your job is to build a ridiculous racing machine out of drafted cards and then drive it until bits fall off. This 2021 box is a standalone game that can also be mixed with the original Steampunk Rally. Power your parts with steam, heat, electricity and the new Fusion dice, use cogs to patch up bad rolls, and watch out for rough terrain that knocks parts off your machine mid-race. New tracks, Secret Projects and the Gear Up and Overcharge abilities keep the workshop lively. Fortune favors the brash: expect a loud, dice-heavy race for two to eight players, best with four.
Who it's for
You like building a machine out of mismatched parts and racing it with plenty of dice drama, from two up to eight players.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a calm, low-luck race. Dice and wrecked parts decide a lot here.
Vibe's take
Loud, inventive and swingy. Everyone builds at the same time, the dice make or break a turn, and half the fun is watching your machine fall apart in an interesting way.
