The Great Space Race

Players pilot starships around a hex-based track in a race through minefields, asteroids, wormholes, black holes, and other hazards. Each turn, movement cards are selected simultaneously, combining forward movement, sliding, and turning into maneuvers such as barrel rolls and broken arrows. The game supports 3–6 players, with the standard race lasting three laps. Additional card decks introduce obstacles and other effects as players attempt to reach the finish first and save their species from annihilation.

    An extremely fun racing game that uses mechanics similar to Roborally (but more forgiving). We had a blast playing it, and the variability is tremendous. See my review for more details...
