Move a shared pack of race cars with speed cards while betting on which ones finish best.

A racing and betting game where you drive a shared pack of cars with hand-managed speed cards while wagering on who finishes best. You buy contestant cars at auction, then play speed cards that move all the pawns, steering the whole field to favor the cars you own and bet on. Cash from finishes and bets decides the winner.

Who it's for

Lively groups who enjoy a rowdy racing game with betting, bluffing, and plenty of interaction.

Not for you if…

You want tight control over your fate; moving the whole field is swingy and chaotic, and it plays best with a full, boisterous table rather than three.

Vibe's take

Chaotic and social, full of hidden hands and gleeful sandbagging as you shove the whole field around.
