Hollywood Racers (2022)

About this game

20XX. In the wake of a global pandemic, government around the world have decided to forbid all form of art and entertainment, deemed harmful and dangerous to the people. With movies now banned, Hollywood is no more than a no-man's land. But unbeknownst to many, there's a bunch of wacky drivers, clandestinely gathering in a huge movie studio, where they engage in completely crazy races, going through movie set after movie set, in search of glory, useful items... and Effixium (especially Effixium). Which of these "Hollywood Racers" will win the ultimate race ? Gameplay: On your turn you may choose to perform up to 3 actions among: Move, Use one of your vehicle's abilities, ram, honk or repair. Each track (movie set) has different rules and you will have to adapt and use them to your advantage in order to outsmart your opponents. The first player who manages to reach the finish line with his two vehicles wins the race.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
