Draft your team from a cast of absurd characters, like a Centaur, an Egg, and a Rocket Scientist, then roll a die and move that many spaces, but with each racer’s special ability messing with the rules, nothing goes as planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlayers draft four racers each and use one in each of four races, with races alternating between the plain “mild” side of the board and the “wild” side with special spaces. Whoever scores the most points across the four races wins. It’s quick to teach and plays fast, so it works for families, casual groups, and board gamers who want a break from heavy strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis new edition reimagines Takashi Ishida’s obscure 2003 game with a redesign by \u003cstrong\u003eRichard Garfield\u003c\/strong\u003e, the creator of \u003cem\u003eMagic: The Gathering\u003c\/em\u003e, and bright, oversaturated artwork by Angela Kirkwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: CMYK Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigners: Richard Garfield and Takashi Ishida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Angela Kirkwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers: 2 to 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying Time: about 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Age: 6+ \u003cem\u003e(some retailers list 8+)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Year: 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox Size: approx. 10 x 6 x 2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanics: Racing, roll and move, drafting, variable player powers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CMYK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50074575110215,"sku":null,"price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/3211\/6551\/files\/81Lb10drVZL.jpg?v=1794453644"}],"url":"https:\/\/thepondx.com\/collections\/board-games.oembed","provider":"ThePondX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
