About the game
Get ready for a wacky and unpredictable race in Rasher! Here, everyone becomes Dick Dastardly, plotting sabotage and attacks to get ahead. Managing your hand of cards is key: they can be used to accelerate, dodge obstacles, launch missiles, lay traps, or even defend your ride from others' mischief. You can play your cards immediately or save them for a more opportune moment, devising wild strategies. Combine movement of 1 to 4 spaces with special actions like jumps, side saws, and card stealing. Did your car get hit by a missile or crash? No problem, use repair cards and keep racing! The modular board allows for custom circuit creation, letting you define the number of laps. The first to cross the finish line is the champion. Rasher is pure chaotic fun and strategy for those who enjoy a good 'take that' with a touch of humor and speed.
