Description

A car race for up to 4 players from corner-to-corner on an 8x8 board. The novelty policeman-shaped spinner shows both the distance of allowed orthogonal movement and whether a 'road block' (an L-shaped fence) is added or removed from the board. The physical construction of the board, where each intersection can hold a single peg from a fence, prevents players being completely blocked and having to wait on a lucky (1 in 3 chance) roll to remove a fence. This is quite a simple way of restricting fence placement. Although still a fairly simple roll-and-move race game, the addition of the fences adds some decisions, a bit like Quoridor with dice.
