First to Reverse (1988)

About this game

In this simple racing game, a racing car, a motorcycle, a bicycle and a roller skater are competing. Each rolls varying number of dice, some of which are d3 instead of d6. The race is even because each racer has a different turnaround point (the race is won by the first to get back to the starting point after reaching his turnaround point). On average, all racers should finish neck-and-neck.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
