Overview

This CCG is based on the popular (in Japan anyway) anime series that is all about street racing. Players construct their decks based around specific automobiles, and then adding "tune ups" cards. Once assembled, each player takes turns trying to play "maneuver cards" to out pace their opponent. Races are held in three "phases": first a curve (where more maneuverable cars will prevail), a straight-away (speed rules here), and finally another curve. In addition to the various maneuver cards, you can play "navigators" (addition passengers in your car) which can improve your chances of crossing the finish line first. This game is fast paced, and very closely tied to the theme of automobile racing.
