Product Description

Downforce is our restoration of Wolfgang Kramer's classic. For nearly 40 years, this card-driven racing game has been the delight of gamers and families. Known by many names - Top Race, Daytona 500, Cleveland Grand Prix - we bring it to you now as Downforce. Fast-paced and easy to learn, Downforce offers the thrill of racing reduced to is essence. Players get their cards, bid for their cars, and the race is off. Betting during the race gives players a chance to back their favorites, even cars owned by other players. Can you get to the turn before them? Can you back the right car to collect your bet? Every turn and every card make a difference.

    Down Force - All Walks of Life
    Listen I am a board game aficionado and this one is simple enough that anyone can play. To give perspective I'm 38. Everyone watching the first game will want to be in the next one. There is also some strategy involved to keep it interesting. (control the one car lanes to gum up the line of traffic). You can learn the rules within 15 minutes to begin play and if you want to turn it into a gambling game it's easy to do so. We did a grand prix where you race on one side of the board, flip it, race on the other side and the winner takes the pot. I think the first time we all got together we played it for 7 hours haha. Anyone watching will be intrigued as the cars are all colored and boards visually appealing. 100% hands down one of the best board games for family or friend gatherings. They also have 2 expansions but I'm finding them hard to get because they're shipped from overseas so I waited 1 month for one of the expansions to arrive. Cheers and happy racing.

    Reviewed in Mexico on May 8, 2022
    Un juego realmente divertido y con reglas faciales de entender. Tiene poca dependencia del idioma, con que una persona sepa inglés es suficiente. Le gusta a cualquier persona, aunque no le gusten las carreras.

    La calidad de todos los componentes también es muy buena, desde la pista y hasta los coches.
