Pole Position (1989)

About this game

Racing game on a modular Board. Every player holds cards from 1 to 9. Everyone chooses one card and they are revealed simultaneous. Highest card moves first. There are some spaces e.g. TURBO (win one position) with special features. These are the heart of the game. Moving in front of an opponent costs 1 additional movement point. The player with the most points from his 3 cars wins the race.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
