Description

Racetrack is a paper and pencil game of unknown origins which simulates a car race in an abstract manner.

Racetrack is played on a sheet of square graph paper on which a track is drawn. Each turn a player draws the movement vector for his or her car - it can differ from the previous move's vector by only a certain amount (e.g., 2 squares total). A fair amount of planning is therefore necessary in order to negotiate curves safely.

The game has inspired many others, including:

Bolide
