About the game

What you do in a play session

Bolide Tracks #1: Roma (Italy) and O Copo (Brazil) brings two fresh tracks for fans of high‑octane racing. The expansion is easy to set up: just add the new track tiles, car tokens, and event cards that add unexpected twists. Roma is a classic, with tight curves reminiscent of Rome’s narrow streets, while O Copo captures a Brazilian circuit vibe, full of fast bends and rough patches that make your heart race. The game stays true to the original: each player picks a car, places it on the starting line, and when the green light blinks, the speed die rolls and you move across the track. The “roll‑and‑move” mechanic is simple, but strategy pops up when you decide when to use acceleration, block, or drift cards to stay ahead. Bolide is great for 2–8 players, with a playtime of about 120 minutes – perfect for family game nights or hanging out with friends. If you love intense races, want something strategic yet straightforward, and enjoy a touch of cultural flair (Italian and Brazilian), this expansion is a must‑have. Just don’t expect super‑realistic graphics; the focus is on fun and fierce competition.
