THE ULTIMATE CAR RACING GAMES FROM GOTHA GAMES

''Race! Formula 90 is a car-racing game simulating all the typical elements of a motor sport event: car strategies, weather changes, pit stops, tire management, overtaking, doubling, and of course damages and crashes.''

Ein Autorennen? Der ganze Aufwand für ein Autorennen? Diese oder ähnlich lautenden Fragen werden Sie sich wahrscheinlich zu diesem Zeitpunkt stellen. Autorennen gab es ja auch bisher sooo wenige. Doch in diesem Falle lohnt sich ein genauerer Blick, da der Autor Alessandro Lala einige neue Ideen in das Genre brachte.

Contrairement à Formula Dé, Race! Formula 90 est annoncé comme un jeu de formule 1 sans dé. Et de fait, aucun dé… Je dois avouer que dans mon subconscient (si si il me parle ;-)), j'espérais un jeu de course sans hasard. Mais il n'en est rien, dans Race! Formula 90, les dés ont été remplacés par des cartes que l'on pioche au hasard.

Non sono un patito di corse e, di conseguenza, neanche di giochi dicorse. Prima di Race! Formula 90 (ideato da Alessandro Lala ed edito da Gotha Games) ho giocato solo a Pitch Car, che sta a questo gioco come un modellino di Ferrari sta a una Ferrari vera.

In Race! every game turn represents one of more laps of the track and each player is in control of only one car. Other cars, called robots, move automatically on the track fighting between them and the human players.

 

 

Players are provided with a set of racing cards and a car chart to keep track of all available resources (tyres, damages, reliability). By playing Racing cards they can move along the track and in so doing they spend resources. Movement can be affected by trajectories on the track, straight, corner and braking sections, opponents and other special events like yellow or blue flags.

 


Braking sections have a particular feature: here players and robots can try late braking, a dangerous manouver that allows them to overtake multiple cars simultaneously. Other manouvers or cards require a "check" e.g. playing a card with a check value lower than a predefined target.

Strategies and driving skills are another key element the game. Players must exploit these unique capabilities to gain against competitors while adapting their driving style to the actual race conditions.
When using a strategy at his best, players achieve a "special" which allows them to draw a Track card, usually more powerful than ordinary Racing cards.

 

 

Usually the winning player will combine excellent management of his car together with a pinch of opportunism and bravery.

Race! is a boardgame with no dice where strategy and risk melt together to convey a truly intense and deep racing experience.
