Ready to feel the asphalt-burning adrenaline? Real Action Stockcar Championship (RASC) is a game that puts you right in the driver's seat of a Stock Car, simulating the thrill of real racing. With up to 20 drivers on the track (yes, twenty!), the competition gets intense! The game comes with two different tracks, each demanding a unique strategy to cross the finish line first. Forget cards, here the action is all about the dice! You'll roll dice to move, challenge positions, and even to see if any track incidents occur. And if luck doesn't strike on the first roll? You can risk re-rolling, but be careful, as this could lead to an accident! RASC also excels at simulating pit stops, showing how much this crucial moment can impact the race. The basic rules are straightforward, perfect for those who want to get a taste of racing without much hassle. But hey, if you enjoy a challenge and want a deeper simulation, there are advanced rules (sold separately) that supercharge the game, adding management of tires, engine, suspension, and even driver fatigue. It's an independent game, created back in 1998, but it's still going strong, proving that the passion for racing has no expiration date. Let's race towards the RA Cup! ## FAQ ### How many players can participate? The game supports 1 to 20 players, so you can have a race with the whole gang! ### Is the game very complicated to learn? The basic rules are quite straightforward and easy to grasp. If you want something more complex, there are advanced rules sold separately. ### How long does a game session last? A game session typically takes about 90 minutes to complete. ### What comes in the box? It includes a board with two different tracks, dice, lap counters, and 20 plastic cars (unpainted). ### Do I need expansions for it to be good? Not necessarily! The base game is already fun, but the advanced rules (sold separately) add an extra layer of simulation for those seeking more depth. ### Is this a game for simulation fans or more arcade-style players? It leans towards simulation, especially with the advanced rules, but the basic dice system allows for a more direct and exciting experience, with a 'push your luck' element.
