I do realize you Cannot skip gears going up. I made a mistake in my overview. I actually played it both ways, and honestly even though thematically in real life you don't go faster if you up shift and skip gears. However it sure is a lot more fun and more of a press your luck element if you play that way. :) Try it for fun!
Nothing wrong with house rules, but I think this one removes a lot of strategy from the game. One major reason for taking a curve too fast is to have a higher base gear to accelerate from in the straight away.
I have only played the basic version, but I really like this game. I own Speed Circuit, and this gives a similar feel. My only beef is that there is a lot of luck involved.
Have you played Formula D again since this comment? I absolutely love Formula D and the group I play with isn't even that huge into racing. I've been amazed how many times the race equalized itself by the rule of averages. While it feels like luck, if I really stop and think about, I can usually point to one or two errors I made that cost me the position I felt I should get.
No you can basically make two switches while moving, but u can’t zigzag, so if your on the left lane you can cut across to the right or into the middle. You can zigzag if your passing a car that’s already in your lane. So if a car is a couple spaces ahead in your lane u can move to an adjacent lane then cut back after you pass the car.
I love this game but mainly play the easier mode. My friends in my game group like it that way. I need to get more maps. Cool Stuff sells them way cheaper than other stores. Now I want to play it again, darn you. Thanks buddy, good review.
Sure. The rules don't actually say much about this. My only limitation would be to not play special characters with formula one characters. So to keep them on their own leagues. But I think you can also mix them if you want.
I am a Grade 5 teacher and I run a board game club at my school. Formula D is one of the most popular games! Of course they are all about "Big Blue" the 30 sided dice!
i prefer Rush n' Crush for racing thrills over formula d Same amount of push your luck speed and lots more action boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46782/rush-n-crush
