Holy Grail Games, BoardM Factory, Czacha Games · Board game · 2020Game Objective
In Rallyman: GT – Championship, you and your friends compete in a series of 8 races on 8 different tracks, each with 2 laps. The goal is to accumulate the highest number of championship points by the end of the eight races. The player who finishes with the most points earns the title of Best Driver and, optionally, can compete for Best Team if the players form equal teams.
Setup
- Board and Tracks: Place the 12 track pieces from the core game and the new expansion tracks (8 championship tracks) on a flat surface. Each track should be assembled according to the layout indicated in the manual.
- Focus Tokens: Distribute the 48 focus tokens in the designated spot on the board.
- Cards and Components: Prepare the standard Rallyman: GT deck (action cards, track cards, etc.) and any additional expansion cards.
- Player Pieces: Each player receives their car and the initial position token on the chosen track.
- Team (optional): If you wish to compete for Best Team, players must split into teams with the same number of drivers before the championship begins.
Game Flow
The championship follows the standard Rallyman: GT structure, with the following additions:
- Race Rounds: Each of the 8 races consists of 2 laps. The rules for each race are exactly those of the Rallyman: GT Rulebook.
- Post‑Race Scoring: At the end of each race, players receive points according to the table below:
| Position | Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 25 |
| 2nd | 18 |
| 3rd | 15 |
| 4th | 12 |
| 5th | 10 |
| 6th | 8 |
| 7th | 6 |
| 8th | 4 |
| 9th | 2 |
| 10th | 1 |
| 11th | 0 |
| 12th | 0 |
For teams, each car counts as an individual driver and adds its points to the team total.
There are no enemy phases, maintenance, or additional global events beyond the standard races.
Actions and How to Play
The available actions are the same as in the Rallyman: GT Rulebook. Since the full manual is not included here, refer to it for details on:
- Card types (action, track, etc.)
- Car and driver abilities
- Use of focus tokens
- Turn order within each lap
End of Game and Scoring
The game ends automatically after the 8th race. The winner is the player with the highest total championship points. If there is a tie, consult the manual for tie‑breaking rules.
For teams, the team score is the sum of all drivers' points. The title of Best Team goes to the team with the most points.
There are no specific defeat conditions other than not finishing in first place in the championship.
