About the game

What you do in a play session

If you love the thrill of the racetrack and have already mastered the base game of Formula Dé, get ready to pick up the pace! This expansion introduces two brand-new circuits to put your cars to the test: the legendary Kyalami in South Africa and the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in San Marino. These are two tracks with unique challenges that will put your piloting skills and dice-rolling luck to the ultimate test.

With these new tracks, the fun in the Formula Dé universe gets even bigger, especially if you enjoy varying your racing scenarios. Each circuit has its own peculiarities, demanding different strategies to cross the finish line first. It's an opportunity to add more excitement to your games, whether you're racing against a single opponent or with a full crowd of 2 to 10 players. The roll-and-move mechanic remains the heart of the game, but the complexity of the layouts and the fierce competition ensure that every race is a new adventure. If you're already a fan of the game and crave more content, this expansion is a perfect fit for anyone seeking new thrills on four wheels. Get your helmet and steering wheel ready, because the race is about to begin!
