About the game

What you do in a play session

The Formula Dé Circuits 7 & 8 expansion adds two iconic racetracks to your board‑gaming garage: France's Magny‑Cours circuit and Italy's legendary Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. Each track comes with its own board, event cards, and scoring tokens, letting you replace or supplement the original circuits from the base game. The core mechanic remains the classic "roll/spin and move" system, where players roll dice or spin a disc to advance their cars around the track, blending luck with positional strategy. As in earlier editions, the goal is to cross the finish line before your rivals, racking up speed points while dodging penalties. The game stays light on complexity (weight 1.8/5), perfect for those who enjoy a roughly two‑hour race that still feels like a high‑octane Formula D experience. Components are top‑notch, featuring illustrated boards that faithfully reproduce the twists, turns, and straights of these European circuits, plus new cards that introduce track‑specific challenges – think Monza's famous "Parabolica" or Magny‑Cours' elevation changes. No language barrier; everything is printed in Portuguese and English, ready for groups of 2 to 10 players. If you already own the base game, this expansion is the easiest way to broaden your race lineup without overhauling the system. For newcomers, remember that Formula Dé blends the thrill of speed with tactical risk management, and this expansion only deepens that mix. In short, Magny‑Cours and Monza land on your tabletop bringing fresh challenges, new scenery, and plenty of overtaking drama.
