Powerboats

Race powerboats around a course, passing buoys to score points while avoiding damage. Use three-sided dice and a rolling mechanic to determine movement, choosing to travel straight or at an angle and adjusting speed by adding or removing dice. Unused dice can be kept or rerolled from turn to turn, but failing to complete the chosen movement damages the boat. Buoy positions change across three races, with modular boards providing different challenges. The player with the most points wins, while excessive damage can sink a boat and affect the next race.

  • Mitchell C3.5

    Simple race game with a slight push your luck element. I'd prefer to play Formula D over this one.

    A simple racing game with neat dice. Fun little game.
