About the game
What you do in a play session
PitchCar: The Loop arrives as the seventh expansion for the celebrated PitchCar designed by Jean Du Poël. After a decade of research, the designers managed to create a loop that is both elastic and durable, opening a huge variety of layout possibilities. Each loop piece can be connected in many ways, letting you build ovals, tight bends, or even more daring circuits, all using the same core game. The flicking mechanic – launching the cars with a finger – remains the core of the experience, but now the track can change from game to game, boosting replayability. As the expansion does not include the base game, anyone who already owns PitchCar can simply add The Loop to their collection and start experimenting with new routes right away. The components are high‑quality, with flexible plastic that holds up to heavy use, and they are compatible with the other existing expansions. Suitable for 2 to 8 players, a match still runs about 30 minutes, keeping the pace fast and the fun constant. If you enjoy dexterity games, light racing, or want a creative twist to your tracks, The Loop delivers all that without overcomplicating the rules. In short, it’s the extra dose of freedom that turns every race into a mini‑track‑engineering challenge.
