4. How to Play

On your turn, follow these steps:

  1. Check Status Effects: If you have any status effects, apply them now.
  2. Play Items (Optional): You can play one item from your hand.
  3. Roll & Move: Roll two dice and move your pawn forward that many spaces.
  4. Advanced Movement (Optional):
    • Braking: You can choose to move fewer spaces than you rolled.
    • Drafting: If you end your turn 3 or fewer spaces behind another player, move forward 2 extra spaces.
  5. Resolve Space: Follow the rules of the space you landed on.
  6. Draw Items: If you landed on an Item Box, draw one Item Card.
  7. End Turn: Your turn is now over. Play passes to the player on your left.

5. The Board

  • Start/Finish Line (Space 1): Where the race begins and ends. Each time you pass this space, you complete a lap.
  • Item Boxes: Land here to draw an Item Card.
  • Boost Pads: Move forward 3-8 spaces.
  • Oil Slicks: Slide back 3-8 spaces.
  • Shortcuts: Bridges that let you jump ahead on the track.
  • Hazard Zones: Dangerous spaces that can cause you to spin out.
  • Pit Stop (Space 25): An optional stop to remove all your debuffs.
  • Sharp Corners: When you land here, roll one die. On a 3+, you're safe. On a 1-2, you get a "Slowed" status effect for one round.

6. Racers & Abilities

  • The Daredevil: Can re-roll one die per turn.
  • The Mechanic: Once per lap, can discard an item to ignore a hazard or debuff.
  • The Trickster: Can place Banana Peels up to 15 spaces ahead instead of 10.
  • The Heavyweight: Is unaffected by "Bomb" items.
  • The Speedster: Has a permanent +1 to their movement rolls.
  • The Lucky Star: Starts the game with a "Shield" item.

7. Items

  • Red Shell: Target a player ahead of you. They roll one less die on their next turn.
  • Blue Shell: A boost for everyone else! All other players move forward 3 spaces.
  • Mushroom: Add 6 to your next movement roll.
  • And many more! Discover all the items as you play.

8. Status Effects

  • Slowed: Subtract 2 from all your rolls for 2 turns.
  • Confused: Roll 1 die instead of 2 for your next turn.
  • Damaged: Move backward 2 spaces at the start of each turn (lasts 3 turns).
  • Overheated: Cannot use items for 2 turns.

9. Advanced Rules

  • Braking: A simple but powerful tool. Use it to avoid overshooting a crucial space.
  • Drafting: Stay close to your opponents to get a free speed boost.
  • Cornering: A risk-reward mechanic. Do you risk spinning out for a shorter path?

10. Sponsor Cards

Your secret Sponsor Card gives you a special mission. If you complete it, reveal the card and claim your reward! This can be a game-changing advantage.

11. Winning the Game

The first player to complete the designated number of laps and cross the finish line is the winner and the new Turbo Slick Champion!
