## Description
Downforce: Lucky Promo Card is a bonus card released to backers of The Dice Tower's 2018 Kickstarter. It gives players a new option when using the "wild" move – the free‑choice advance normally allowed in the base game. Instead of picking any number of spaces, you may choose to roll a six‑sided die and move your car exactly that many spaces. This adds a splash of controlled luck, turning the decision to use a wild into a mini‑risk: roll the die or stick with the number you had in mind? The card is sized for the Restorations/Iello version (approximately 64 mm × 88 mm) and is incompatible with the smaller American‑style cards found in the Goliath slim‑box sold at Target or Dollarama. All other mechanics stay the same – auctions, betting, hand management, and variable player powers remain as in the core game. The expansion does not increase the game's complexity; it simply offers an extra tactical choice that can shift the pace of a race, especially in games lasting 20‑40 minutes with up to six players. If you already own Downforce, just slip the card into the deck and start experimenting. It’s a modest addition, but it can spark memorable "what if I had rolled the die?" moments during your weekend races.

## FAQ
### How many players can use the Lucky Promo card?
It works in games with 2 to 6 players, just like the base game.

### Does the card change the playing time?
Average play time stays around 20‑40 minutes, as the card only affects a single decision.

### Do I need extra rules to use the card?
No extra rules are required. Just replace the wild move with the die‑roll option when you like.

### Is the card compatible with the American slim‑box version?
No. It’s sized for the Restorations/Iello version and won’t fit the smaller slim‑box cards.

### Will the card make the game more complex?
Not at all. It simply adds an optional tactical choice while keeping the original complexity.
