In this light racing card game the players must try to maneuver their team of 2 racing cars into the podium positions over a series of races by playing cards to manipulate the line of vehicles to their advantage.
Players can advance their position by playing cards that move their vehicles up the line or drag other team cars back. More powerful cards may require the roll of a dice and can result in great gains or disastrous engine blow-outs that can put cars out of the race and cannot rejoin the fray until the next race begins.
Play is quick and simple with players required to play one action per turn, carry out its effects and drawing a card to end their turn. Each race will end after the draw deck is exhausted with one final turn taking place. Points are then awarded for positions 1-6 and a leaderboard is recorded. As the game evolves the leaderboard will be forever changing and in the final race the drivers will know what they have to do to earn the points in order to sit atop the final standings!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Play — You have these cards here and then you're just going to put a bunch of these a bunch of cars in a row. Let me see if I can find you. Uh, yes, this is the game. You put these cards in a row and then you play cards.
- Drafting — Whenever you move a card, the card behind it also moves drafting-wise.
- Movement — It's almost like a take that card. Move the yellow card up three. But, whenever you move a card, the card behind it also moves drafting-wise.
