Have you seen Death Race with Jason Statham? That's exactly what this game is about.
This game left me with mixed feelings. I love car tuning—who wouldn't want to mount some nitrous on their car, drop a bomb on their opponents, or slap a saw on the side to customize their rivals' shiny hoods? I also like the mechanics: you roll 10 dice (or fewer) and then decide how to use them through two re-rolls.
What I don't like is the poor quality of the components. The cards are printed on very thin paper and were creased right out of the box. Another big minus for me was the crumpled rulebook. The biggest disappointment was paying for a box that was mostly empty air. If I were to recommend the game, I'd say it's great in terms of concept and mechanics, but poor in terms of production quality. If there's a second edition where the publisher irons out all these bugs, it will be awesome.
Viděli jste Rallye smrti s Jasonem Stathamem? Tak o tom je ta hra.
Tato hra ve mně vzbudila rozporuplné pocity. Libí si mi tuning aut,kdo by si na auto nechtěl namontovat nějaký ten dusík čí třeba bombu, kterou pak může vypustit na své soupeře, čí z boku nějakou tu pilu, aby upravit soupeřům jejich naleštěnou kapotu. Také se mi libí mechanika, hodíte 10 kostkami (i méně) a sami pak dvojím přehození si můžete vyrat jak je použijete..
Co se mi nelibí je špatný dojem z komponent. Karty jsou vytisknuté na velmi tenkém papíře a již od rozbalení byly pokrčené. Další pro mně velkým minusem byly rovněž pokrčené pravidla. Největším zklamáním pro mně bylo, že jsem část peněz dál i za vzduch. Pokud bych hru měl doporučit tak se mi libí co do nápadu a mechaniky a nelibí co do způsobu provedení. Pokud bude druhé vydání hry,kde vydavatel vychytá všechny mouchy z tohoto vydání tak vše bude super.
