Race Condition is a card game that allows competing players to modify a shared computer program represented by playing cards.
Game cards and counters are arranged on a table top to represent the order of and relationship between instructions, the current instruction, and the values of variables. Competing players take turns modifying the computer program until one of them achieves his or her objective of setting a variable to a particular value. Players accomplish their goals by appending instructions to the program, and by performing special actions such as inserting, deleting, or moving instructions. As the players modify the program, it advances, modifying variables and potentially moving players closer to or further from their objectives.
