Disney Pixar Cars 3

Piston Cup Race Game

Das Rennen um den Piston Cup! You want to win the Piston Cup just like Lightning McQueen -and can achieve this, if you collect and use five different Tuning Cards during the race.

The podium representing the race track is assembled with the Piston Cup on top and switched on; each player selects a Race Car -  - Lightning McQueen, Jackson Storm, Cruz Ramirez or Danny Swervez - and places it at the star. The Tuning cards are sorted by type and stacked.

The active player rolls the die. For a result of 1 to 5 you move the car in direction of the arrows. If you end on a case with a tuning symbol - Spark plugs, tools, tyres, speedometers or refuels - you take the corresponding Tuning card, if you do not have it yet. When your target case is occupied, you put your car to the front or back of it. If you end on the starting case, you roll again. If you reach a Pylon case, you do a pit stop and press the Piston Cup. If you hear the Pitstop noise, you put your car on the track, press the Piston Cup again for the track to rotate and turn over a Tuning card. When the track stops, you have driven a round and put your case back on the nearest empty case on the board. If you hear an engine shutting down, you have a breakdown and your turn ends. For a 6 you can a Tuning card that you do not have from another player but cannot turn it over in the Pit Stop round that follows. Whoever is first to have collected all five tuning cards and has used them in five race rounds, wins.
