Description
Downforce: Wild Ride, an expansion for Downforce, consists of two new tracks on a double-sided game board, along with 3D ramps and wild animals to be used on the new tracks:
• Aloha Sands features water jumps. Cars can use the ramps if they are moving fast enough. Using the ramps lets you pass other cars and move more efficiently, so managing your hand of speed cards to take advantage of them is crucial.
• Savanna Stretch features wild animals that traverse the track, blocking the way. They move ahead after a car passes them, making the track more difficult to navigate for the lead car, and opening up for the trailing cars, so it can pay to hang back a bit before making your move.
These new tracks add a little more strategy to the game, offering Downforce veterans a whole new play experience.

Quotes (from this video)
- I think Marty for silver River the name of the game one of the neatest aspects for me was how I got my Reece.
- Where's the conflict Marty where is the Connolly if you're going to have a 4x game there's got to be some conflict.
- Battle does not automatically occur typically in games when you move into a place where somebody else is you immediately fight that's not the case here here you can move in you could be peaceful or if you want to you could say I guess what I'm gonna fight you and we're gonna attack each other.
- So there's a bluffing mechanic when you're going against other people I like that.
- If you're in for 4x type game but you don't want to spend your entire afternoon playing twilight imperium or eclipse then you definitely want to check out silver River that is now currently on Kickstarter.
- The Team's expansion for some of the board game and then finally Tony thank goodness my wallet can't stand anymore there's I know but this one comes out March 13th so you've got basically on the release of this you got one day to save up money to pick up Glen Moore 2 chronicles which we got a prototype of this is by fun tells game and Mattias Kramer the designer who did the original Glenmore.
- number one it's a rondell I'm into rondell selection mechanics so I was automatically into this game there was a lot of strategy in that rondell on which tiles you won't pick up.
- beautiful mechanic of placing a tile activating all the tiles around it very important strategy so much going on there a lot of strategy in that game.
- The scoring mechanism for all these is what you have compared to the person with the least amount.
- I hate that I missed playing Glenmore the first time around but now that I've played it I'm so glad to see this new version coming out and like you told me I'm excited to own a copy of this game.
- Hey y'all thanks for listening when this episode comes out there will only be a couple days left for the BoardGameGeek best podcast golden geek nomination oh that's a mouthful we would love your nomination and if nominations are already out and if we were so lucky to get one we would love to have your vote thank you so much for supporting your show over all these years and we'll see you next episode.
