Description

[Edit] [History]

This game entry refers to two nearly identical games which are not compatible with one another. Ages 6 and up.

PitchCar and Carabande are dexterity games where large, wooden, puzzle-like pieces are used to construct a race track that looks very similar to a slot car track when finished. But instead of using electrons, players use finger-flicks to send little round pucks around the track, a la Carrom.

Contents:

  • Eight car discs
  • Six straightaways
  • Ten 90-degree curves
  • Rail pieces for straights and curves
  • One Start/Finish line sticker
  • One rule sheet with suggested track layouts

Carabande was produced by Goldsieber and had only the single expansion with the Action Set. Both are currently out of print. It was also produced in a special "Audi" edition, titled Rennspiel-Action. In the BGG photo gallery, Carabande has yellow/orange rails.

PitchCar is produced by Ferti. It currently has three expansions which add "tight" curves, crossroads, small jumps, long straightaways, 45-degree curves, and curved bottlenecks. PitchCar apparently also has two editions, where the first edition has the black laminate on the top and bottom of the track pieces, where the second edition only has the laminate on the top of the track pieces. In the BGG photo gallery, PitchCar has red rails.

Enclosed are the data files (.trk's) for tracks for PitchCar's Base Set to be used with TrackBuilder 1.1. The files are named Base Set 1 through 10 with two variations on track 9 (Base Set 9.1.trk and Base Set 9.2.trk). Enjoy!
26 PitchCar TrackBuilder
TrackBuilder1_3.zip
A drag and drop track builder for PitchCar and its extensions. Version 1.3 has several updates and fixes: * A print track option has been added * A piece list for pieces in the working area is now available during printing or track layout * An option to "Move All" pieces has been added * Created an Option quick bar with the options located as buttons in easy reach * Added some hot key options for various tasks * Fixed a size issue with the "curve" track pieces. Tracks made with versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 will have some alignment issues when viewing in version 1.3. Unzip the archive and run the pctb.exe file. Drag the pieces into the work area. A right click rotates clockwise, a left click counter clockwise. Tracks can be saved for future reference or sharing with your friends. For more information read the UserGuide.pdf that is included.
