A racing game of pure chaos where the rules feel simple until the racers start breaking them. You draft a team of absurd characters, pick one to run each race, roll a die, and move. Every racer comes with a deeply unfair power that can bend the track, bully opponents, or turn a perfect lead into a disaster.
A full game is played over four short races. Before racing begins, you draft your racers, which matters more than it looks, because your team becomes your toolbox for the entire session. At the start of each race, you choose which racer to put on the track, trying to match their ability to the kind of chaos you expect to unfold. The board is double sided and the races alternate between a gentler track and a wilder track, so the tone ramps up as the game goes on.
On a turn, you roll and move, but the real fun is the moment you land and trigger effects, powers, and awkward interactions with other racers. Some characters thrive on being crowded. Others punish anyone who dares to get close. The table stays loud because even when it is not your turn, you are watching for the next ridiculous swing that might hand you an opening or ruin your plan.
Scoring comes from performance across the four races rather than a single lucky sprint, so it still feels like a contest even when the track is misbehaving. The best players are not the ones with perfect tactics. They are the ones who pick the right racer for the moment, lean into the chaos, and stay calm when everything falls apart.
