Why It's On The List

• It's a racing game where you want to travel the ol' Mother Road at blazing speeds from Chicago to L.A. - then want to "get your kicks" on the return trip and move as slowly as possible. 

Tips & Tricks:

• Speed management is tricky - and even more so if you play with a full complement of 5 players.
• That said, the game is probably at it's best with 3-4 players.

Extras

• Wolfgang Riedesser designed the game after traveling the U.S. in a convertible.
• I know it's an extremely "fluffy" game - but I really enjoy the odd combination of races and the nicely done theme.
• There is a companion card game which shares the same art style but is closer to Mille Bornes design-wise.
