The Stock Car Championship Racing Card Game (1995)

About this game

Racing game driven by cards. There's a central track deck which simulates a given track. Each card in it can be an event (a yellow flag, crash, blown engine) or simply a lap count which players must attain for that turn. Each player has a driver deck which they draw from to make a hand. They play cards each turn to reach the lap count. With their remaining actions/cards they can pass, block, challenge, draft etc. the other cars.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 12.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 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.
