Warhamster Rally (2001)

Giới thiệu

To be the produced version of Aquarium Derby. The board is covered with hexes containing arrows. A player plays the movement card lying facedown in front of themselves then chooses a new one for NEXT turn. Each movement card describes movement relative to the arrow on your current space. The biggest problem is that you are frequently not on the space you were on when you played that movement card

The cool part are the action points which can be used over the course of the game a la Trip Tickets in Wildlife Adventure to save yourself and hose everyone else in further ways. It also adds a touch of a puzzle element as there are usually a couple of ways to save yourself from a bad situation.

From the box:

WARHAMSTER RALLY™ is the crazy racing game based on the award-winning DORK TOWER™ comic strips by John Kovalic. Players take on the rols of Dork Tower characters and compete for the ultimate prize in thoroughbred racing:

THE WARHAMSTER CUP!

What, you thought this involved horses?

In WARHAMSTER RALLY, 3 to 5 players run amok, trying desperately to control their wild Warhamsters on the racetrack, dodging deadly Battle Budgies, Juggling Jongleurs, the numerous Kobold Kin, and the most ferocious monsters of all... the other players!

from the rules:

Basic Idea of the game:

Players are racing big, giant, killer Warhamsters around an open field racetrack marked by a pair of Battle Budgies. The race starts on the 4 hexes between one Battle Budgies and the edge of the board (marked Start) crosses the 4 hexes on the other side of the board (from the other Budgie to the Post Mark), and back around to the Start hexes
