Race! Formula 90: 2nd Edition

( after the Third game) This still feels overlong and mechanically boring. Only for formula 1 fans. The explanation takes about an hour and the rest of the gameplay, for how rich and realistic it is, often comes down to drawing the right cards at the right time. There's a huge luck component that jars with the rules weight and the very little interaction. Some of it is also extremely tacked on: draw a yellow flag and place it in front of your chaser. Draw a green flag and remove the yellow flag. Draw the track card for the upcoming turn and you're zooming twice as much as if you get a different one. Change the weather when you draw the weather card. There is surely a lot of detail, it's all very accurate and it's commendable work. But it's not fun, unless you're a huge F1 fan perhaps. (after a second game) with the "real" weather and some other added mechanisms, it feels better and more enjoyable. The best part of the game is not the card draw and play, but maybe the pit/tyres/overtaking/lapping strategy. Just like real F1 like real formula 1, there's not a lot of interaction, which is probably ok. Changing the weather, placing a flag, controlling the robots, all with the card you play, seem unnatural and a gimmick to make up for the lack of interaction. For a game so realistic, it feels a bit tacked on (After one game): Very accurate simulation, to the point of becoming boring like real F1… but most of the mechanics are very well thought. Not liking the card draw much

Juego de carreras de formula 1. Gestión de mano, daños en el coche, ruedas, estrategias, paradas en boxes, etc. Juego muy completo, con un mal manual (aunque hay uno traducido y unificado que solventa el problema). Aparenta más complicado de lo que realmente resulta. Gestión de los bots muy sencilla, lo que permite jugar siempre con la parrilla llena.
