About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to feel the track's adrenaline with Race Master, a Swedish racing game endorsed by former F1 driver Reine Wisell! Here, the track is a grid board, but the real excitement happens on the crossed lines where your cars will slide. The gameplay is straightforward: you move your car across a simple grid, planning where it will be after your next move. It's you against the clock, which counts your moves, or up to three friends battling for the checkered flag. The game includes everything you need to get started: rules, a cool track, four cars (plus four extras to avoid fights!), markers for the gearbox/throttle, clock hands, and even hay barriers to create chicanes and change course. It's an accessible racing simulation experience, perfect for those who enjoy the strategy behind overtakes and the challenge of optimizing every move to cross the finish line first.
