A friend of ours got Formula D for his birthday, so we got a chance to play this ‘famous’ racing board game. I had no idea what to expect, but it turns out its fame is earned! We had a lot of fun during the entire race and it was unclear until the very end who was going to cross the finish line first. I won! Thanks to some lucky dice rolls I perfectly made it through some of the thoughest corners, while I started on the third place. It’s a smart and fun game that doesn’t take to long to finish and has tons of different ways to play it.
Besides all the different game modes, I’m very curious about the alternative map on the backside of the board. That seemed very challenging. And the game has no cards… so, with the temperatures rising and summer around the corner, that means it’s a perfect game for playing outside! 😉
Formula D is a board game racing game that goes a lot further than just throwing dice and moving your car. Players have their own gearbox and need to keep track of the damage of their car. You can change gears to go quicker, but don't forget to slow down before the corners... Adorable little cars included!

Rampage/Terror in Meeple city! Yeah there’s guidelines/rules on how you destroy the city, but let’s be honest you don’t really care about points/winning, YOU JUST WANT TO SMASH THE CITY UP! tongue emoticon

I think I’ll set you up with the boys when they’re a bit older and more into playing games (which last longer than 3 minutes 😉 … Seems like a perfect match!

In most racing games I tried, racing was secondary to beating the s**t out of each other with various weapons and traps. So far I’ve tried Titan Race, Junkyard Races, Cthulhu 500, Wreckage and Mississippi Queen (being the peaceful exception).

Honestly, I’m the same way with the airship in Forbidden Desert.
