Product Description
Six racing cars are standing on the starting grid, prepared for the big race. But only the player who gets the right colors with the dice and makes clever combinations will be able to move rapidly ahead.
Aim of the game
Who will make clever combinations and thus use as many colors as thrown with the dice in order to get his or her racing car over the finishing line first?
Preparation of the game
Spread the game board and put it in the center of the playing surface. Each player chooses a racing car and puts it facing the circuit on the wide starting grid where arrows are shown on the board. If there are less than 6 players the remaining race cars stay in the box. Get the six colored dice ready. Each die shows the six colors of the circuit.
How to Play
Throw all six dice (you can take the dice in both hands). Now try to move your car according to the colors obtained. You have to compare the colors of the dice with the colors of the squares directly ahead of your car.
A car racing game which encourages tactical thinking for 2 to 6 clever players ages 5 to 99.
Do the colors coincide? Or are there even more, subsequent matching colors?
Think carefully about the order in which you want to use the obtained colors and move your car ahead on the corresponding color squares. After each single move, put aside the corresponding die.
If you are lucky and think fast you might be able to move your car ahead six squares!
If you cannot use certain colors because there are no squares of the corresponding color in front of your car, your turn is over. It‘s the next player‘s turn to throw all six dice.
Watch out: From the starting square you may move on to the blue or the white square. You can only move your car ahead.
In addition, the following racing rules apply:
A change of lane is only possible if the far end of the neighboring square is situated ahead of the square where your car is at the moment. In this case too, you are always obliged to move your car ahead.
Obstacle squares (tires) may never be entered.
While you move your car you may pass over squares with other cars on them. However, if your move ends on a square with a car on it, this car is moved back to the next free square in the same lane. Watch out: it cannot be moved back to an obstacle square!
Whenever it is possible to move you are obliged to do so: you always have to move on as far as possible
End of the Game
When the first racing car reaches one of the two target squares the current round is played to the end. In this round each player memorizes how many dice he/she used for moving.
- If at the end of the round there is only one racing car in the target area, the corresponding driver wins the race.
- If at the end of the round there is more than one car in the target area the driver who used less dice in this round wins the race.

I would say it doesn't worth the price, but if you love Haba and ready to pay- it is great game in general
+ Rules on 5 languages, including English and Spanish
Players roll 6 dice with faces of different colors. They use these colors to move forward on the colored race track. The track has three lanes with colored spaces on them. Players have to figure out how to use their 6 dice colors to move ahead on the track, switching lanes back and forth as needed. The track has spaces with wrecked tires on them which have to navigated around along the way. Players can land on each other's cars and push them back a space. There are tire wreck spaces on the track which need to be navigated around. The first person across the finish line might be the winner. I say "might" because the rules say that each of the other players get one more roll after the first player to cross the finish line. If another player can cross the finish line with less moves than the first person used then they can win instead.
Both my children, 5 and 8, enjoy playing this game together. I enjoy playing it with them as well.
The pieces are nice and sturdy wooden race cars and dice. The pieces will definitely stand up to classroom use. The board is nice thick cardboard. The game is very colorful, attractive, and cute. As you can see in the video, the whole game is smaller than board games usually are. This is very nice because it takes up less space on a shelf.
This is a great game to practice colors with young children. Figuring out which order to use the rolled dice takes a nice amount of forward thinking strategy on the part of the children as well. If they choose a less than optimal order they won't move as far. It is a much superior color matching game to the old standard Candy Land due to the fact that Candy Land has no strategic thought in its gameplay. I'd definitely recommend this game to my fellow educators and parents over that one .
The cars are well made wooden pieces, but small, the dice are nice and made of wood, but the board screams cheap. For 25 dollars, I expected more. The board is the same material I have seen used in 5 dollar games and is a massive letdown as it should be more in the 15 dollar range. I would say the game value isn't there, if it wasn't so fun to play. Even with the cheapness factored in, I am still glad I bought it because it has a lot of replay value.
The race track consists of three lanes of different colored squares. In addition, there are spaces you can't enter because there is "debris". Your turn consists of rolling six dice, each with the six colors of the race track squares on them. You then use the colors you rolled for your movement. If there is a blue space in front of you, you can utilize a blue that you rolled to move forward. No blue? No problem, just change lanes to the green space next to you. By looking at your options, your goal is to use all six dice if possible to move as far as you can around the track.
When first playing, kids can focus on learning their colors and making the connection between the spaces they can move to and the colors that they rolled. As they progress, they learn to consider multiple possibilities (i.e. If I use my green to move to that space, I won't be able to go farther because I would need a blue. However, I use a white to change to this lane, I can move four more spaces with the colors I have!)
I purchased my copy from River Runners (Amazon Marketplace) and am very happy with them. Good price, Prime eligible, fast service/delivery.

The game board and pieces are very sturdy and well made.
Altogether, a lot of fun and well worth the extra money needed to pay for a quality product from Germany.
Non ci sono le istruzioni in italiano, ma le regole sono semplicissime e non c'è nulla da leggere durante lo svolgimento del gioco, quindi non è un problema.
