About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to hit the track with Turbo, a nostalgic racing game that takes you back to the 80s! Based on Sega's classic video game, Turbo brings the thrill of the race to your tabletop. The objective is simple: be the first to cross the finish line. To do this, you'll spin the spinner and move your car along the track. But watch out! Opponents can use their cars to create strategic blockades and prevent you from advancing. Position your vehicles intelligently to hold the lead or to hinder those behind you. The game offers two different circuits to ensure the fun never ends, each with its unique turns and challenges. The simplicity of the rules makes it easy to learn and play, ideal for those seeking a quick and adrenaline-fueled experience. With components reminiscent of the arcade video game era, Turbo is a trip back in time for fans of retro games and racing. It's a great choice for playing with family or friends who enjoy a direct and fun challenge, where luck and strategy mix with every spin of the spinner. Who will be the first to reach the checkered flag?
