This expansion supercharges the base game with three new insane boards: Canyon, Pit Row, and Back Stretch. Each one brings classic elements we already love, like treacherous ramps, dangerous ledges, slippery oil slicks, and portals that teleport you to who-knows-where (or to victory!). The cool thing is that the Grand Prix crew didn't just stop at adding novelties. They mixed the old with the new, taking elements that were already hits in other expansions and throwing them all together to create an even more unpredictable circuit. And to spice things up even more, each board has a random map on the back that could come from the base game or any other expansion you own. This ensures that every race is a totally new experience full of surprises, where programming your moves becomes a true tactical challenge. If you already enjoy the madness of programming robots to dodge lasers and fall into pits, Grand Prix will give you more reasons to yell at your friends. It's more than just a race; it's a battle of wits (and luck!) to see who can master this crazy widget factory. Prepare for last-minute adjustments and plans that go down the drain in seconds. It's RoboRally at its finest, with an extra dose of danger and fun! ## FAQ ### Do I need the base RoboRally game to play with Grand Prix? Yes, absolutely!
