Formula D

Austin Nevada Ride

Formula D, by now a synonym for car racing games, has been published in several versions since 1991, the latest one was published by Asmodee in 2008. Formula D is a simulation of a card race with all the chicaneries, but basically very simple: The higher the gear level the further forward you can move your car. For each gear level there is a die, you need to take tires and engine stats into account, must save up petrol for the final effort at the finish and must apply brakes cleverly around bends to cross the finish line as the winner. Optional rules are to construct your car yourself, to do some training laps before the race, hold a race over three laps and take the weather into account, too.

Expansion #6 introduces two new tracks, Austin and Nevada Ride. Austin is played with the rules from the basic game. For Nevada Ride there are additional rules for five areas on the Board: Dangerous Area from case 23-29 on the outer two lanes, along mountains and precipice, with effects on Wear Points and rolling dice for car body damage or road handling. In Colorado Jump the cases 10, 11, 12 and 13 have collapsed and you need to jump over the Colorado River; if you fall in, you re-start in maximum 3^rd gear. Happy Crowd and Muddy Track feature spectators and dirt as obstacles on the track and at the Casino you can regain lost victory points with the roll of dice.

As already stated, Formula D is one of the best, if not THE best, simulation of car racing; this expansion, too, is an enrichment for the basic game with new rule supplements and a challenge for players, with Austin as a Grand Prix track and Nevada Ride for a Street Course.
