Set up
|
|
-
Shuffle tempo cards
-
Prepare chips
|
Tempo cards are shuffled and put on the table face down.
Chips are put in a location reachable by all players as bank.
|
|
|
|
|
Track cards are shuffled.
Eight track cards (straight tracks and curves) are placed face
up to build the racing track.
|
*According to the printed rules the track is created
after each player has got his tempo cards - this may cause problems because then each player
would like to have a track matching the tempo cards he holds.
|
|
|
-
1 car per player
-
8 tempo cards per player
-
3 chips per player
|
Each player selects a car, draws eight tempo cards
to his hand and takes three chips.
Cars are controlled using the tempo cards.
Chips are used to modify the speed of a car (+10 or -10 per chip paid to the bank).
|
|
|
|
-
Youngest player starts on the last position
-
Oldest player starts in the front position*
|
The youngest player places his car at position 7 of the board.
The next youngest player places his car at position 6, and so on - the car of the
oldest player is placed at the front position (this is not position 1 in all cases).
The remaining free front positions are taken by the Alten Hasen, which are neutral cars.
|
*This rule is perfect when playing the game for the
first time - see the advanced Professional rules in the download area for other options.
|
|
|
|
All players simultaneously put three tempo cards from their
hands face up on the table in front of them.
Tempo cards show velocities of 10 to 60 km/h.
During the game there are always three tempo cards face up in front of
each player - the sum of these cards specifies the Gspeed of the player
cars.
Each player normally hasfive tempo cards hidden in his hand - these
hand cards are used to modify the three open tempo cards in front of him (speed).
