Description Edit | History

Re-issue of Kramer's Formel Eins with tweaks. Players are dealt movement cards which affect the different colored racing cars. After judging your hand, you bid in auctions for the ownership of the cars, which are then raced for prize money. So if your hand favors the red and blue cars, you'll want to own one of them, but playing your cards will move other cars at the same time. There are also cards to allow vehicles to catch up or delay, so you might make red catch up with yellow, or delay yellow till red reaches it. The board has only one track and the usual racing rules apply, blocked moves, bottlenecks etc.

Other games in Wolfgang Kramer's racing series include Detroit-Cleveland Grand Prix and Daytona 500.
