PLAYED FOR YOU

Lamborghini

The Official Race Game

The first thing that catches your eye when you see the box puts a gleam into the eyes of card aficionados: 5 5 Murciélago Lamborghini Miniatures in a scale of 1:87 are included as playing pieces for a car racing game in two versions.

The short version offers a simple game with the aim to be the first to cross the finish line, the long game demands strategic, tactical and economic decisions.

At the start each player chooses a car and a driver as well as maneuver and technology cards; in the short game from an open display, in the long game by an auction to determine the order in which you can choose from the open display; you pay for your choice of driver and car cards. In the set-up phase maneuver and equipment cards must be assigned and you receive additional cards; then the remaining equipment, maneuver and money cards turn into speed cards. For the qualifying to determine starting positions you draw one speed card, the cards are lined up accordingly. During the race cards move forward or sideways, only to or over free squares, by the value of the car and driver cards + the value of a speed card that you drew, possibly modified by maneuver or equipment card. Once per turn you can use slipstream and execute maneuvers. At the end of a race there is a voluntary economics phase; you can get new cards for the next race, sell your car or fire the driver; in the end you win with most money.

Lamborghini is an attractive simulation of a car race using standard mechanisms and all events like accident, car out of control, pushing aside etc.; thanks to the model cards this is a special tidbit for fans of such games.
