Jets

Paddle de luxe vs Butt-Kick

Jets usually are airplanes, but the cover shows a car, some kind of an oldtimer, somewhat futuristically looking, reminding one of Anakin in the Pod-Race, but this is better! We play on a table cloth or carpet instead of in the desert, set up a race track together and prepare the cards for navigation aid, opposition obstruction and other equipment. From that selection each player chooses 7 equipment items, those are permanent and can be used once in a round. Then the cars should fly! along the track through the arcs, you must plan your approach well and the opposition is not pussyfooting around! The speed is called lift for these jets, you start with lift 1. In your turn you decide if you stay with this lift, brake or accelerate. You place the lift – a bar with chevron ends – next to your jet, adjust it, and then place the jet to the other end of the lift. The faster the jet the longer the lift you use and the narrower the angle of your turns. Can I manage the bend? As we race in the future, there are no collisions; a special safety module lets the other slip by without accident. The main fun of the game is provided by the additional equipment modules with which I can turn nasty on the opponents or upgrade my own jet, from Höllenböller to Photon Paddle, from Traumatorpedo to Butt-Kick. To use such additional equipment you pay chips, energy is arriving automatically when flying through arcs.

Incredibly funny, surprisingly nasty, some tactics despite the fun element and due to the many extras and individual track constructions always different, always new, always good.
