Tiny Turbo Cars

Players race tiny toy cars by programming movement in advance using a sliding-puzzle “remote” controller. Each round, everyone slides tiles simultaneously to arrange a sequence of action symbols; only the two middle rows of the controller are applied as the car’s program. Turn order depends on who finishes their controller first, and players then execute their programs in that order, moving, colliding, firing weapons, and taking damage which reduces battery (movement) until recharged. Tracks are assembled before play and rounds repeat until a car crosses the finish line.
