Gotham Race (Ostfriesenlauf) 2nd ed
This is a wonderfully bonkers race game. My favourite bit is that players' pieces can be moved backwards and it is possible to win the race by crossing the finish line in reverse! Mind you, there's always the possibility that someone's moved the finish line...
Players have a set of action cards and play one each turn. Only when all the cards have been chosen are they revealed and then actioned. Each card moves racers, but according to their relative position in the race. So only the first player can be sure which pawns his card will move! This is brilliant as players try to second-guess each other's plays only to see the wrong pawn take the lead!
Gotham Race is both very clever and great fun.
For 1-4 player, aged 10+, playing time 45 minutes: £10.00 (£8.33 outside the UK)
(Note: this game is not shrink-wrapped)
