Description
"Congratulations! Queen Victoria approves of your application as the official representative of your nation of origin in the Quicksilver International Racing Federation!
"You will be required to obtain a Quicksilver airship, now retired from Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force; you will find the ship well-suited for racing, and you are encouraged to modify the ship to suit your racing temperaments from aggressive to patient. We also recommend you familiarize yourself with the various race courses of the circuit – your success as a pilot depends on an understanding of each course’s unique layout, obstacles, and straight-aways. There are many opportunities on each course for courageous and clever pilots to push their luck and skill to victory.
"Queen Victoria awaits your arrival. Your countrymen are watching, and with them you carry the hopes and dreams of a nation. Arrive at the Queen’s Carrier with your ship and your crew no later than 10 o’clock, Greenwich Mean Time. Welcome, and good luck!"
Quicksilver is an airship racing game for 2-6 intrepid pilots. Customize the course, then be the first pilot to clear the three checkpoints and cross the finish line to win. Balance your need for greater speed with your need for protection from obstacles, both natural and man-made. Use additional tactics to further control your destiny over the fate of the dice, to attack troublesome opponents, or to help maneuver through difficult terrain. Fortune (and fighting) favors the bold, so race on, brave pilots!

Quotes (from this video)
- He is so one note he deals so much damage and doesn't really have to put in a lot of effort.
- The combo that you want to try and get like uh Captain Marvel um he also has a card that gives him a bunch of resources Limitless Strength.
- Hulk Smash basically when you use a basic attack you get plus 10 to that attack.
- Immovable object gives them four hit points which basically now means he starts out at 22 hit points and he gains retaliate which is insane.
- It would be if it was if it was if it was any fun like that amount of damage takes away any type of stress from any any opponent.
- He feels like he should have came in the base game because of just how one note and basic he is.
- On a scale of one to ten i'd probably give him a six honestly.

Quotes (from this video)
- One division has just now had its season finale and side note that show is amazing I loved every single episode and the ending I cannot wait for more.
- She's completely chaotic in in the terms of the game mechanisms and uh and that could be fun.
- She plays completely different from Dr. Strange, which is what I was expecting them to do.
- This is what makes her an interesting character because of the randomness of the encounter deck that could just be five damage or it could go up to 11 any any range in between.
- She's extremely versatile but not OP because 10 health goes away pretty quick.
- I'm gonna give her a nine, I think the chaotic it's a little fun and I'm and I applaud them for making a character that was completely different.
