Downforce

boardgame

Downforce is a card-driven racing and betting game for 2-6 players. Players first bid to own race cars, then play cards to move them around the track, which often moves opponents' cars as well. Along the way, everyone makes secret bets on the race outcome. Whoever accumulates the most money through prize cash, winning bets, and remaining bank funds at the end wins the game.
