Turbo (2003)

About this game

You think motor sports are just a guy thing? Everybody knows the excitement that the beginning of a race can bring. All the lights are red. Engines roar. Tension rises. Suddenly a driver from the back has problems with his vehicle and raises his arm. For a short time the tension ebbs because the start is delayed. A short time later: restart. Again, all lights are red, engines howl and everyone stares spellbound at the lights. Suddenly, the lights jump to green and the race begins! The drivers gun their engines and drive as fast as possible without running off the course. Who'll get first place? This game isn't just for (male) motor sport fans!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
