RoShamBo Rush is a competitive racing game. No story here. Just tighten your shoes, race, and be prepared for a nail biting finish. RoShamBo Rush was designed to be quick paced and to keep all players in the game with its system of catch-up logic. There is a very small learning curve, making it a great game to introduce newcomers to table top gaming.
As the name implies, Rock-Paper-Scissors is a large part of the game. Players duel each other using a set of cards that remain in each players possession throughout the game. Banter is encouraged. It is a good way to solicit a tell from your opponents. If you have people reading skills, they do come in handy.
The game features racers (pawns) that stand over 2" tall. The racers are adorned with helmets and body armor when a player lands on a "Armor Up" space. Armor serves as insurance for losing a battle and keeps that racer from taking hit points in exchange for a piece of armor.
Though linear like a race course, you have decisions to make on your turn. Who will you battle? When is the best time to play your Twist Cards? Nobody coasts to an easy victory here. Only the scrappiest competitors will earn a place on the winners podium which only has limited space reserved for the top three racers.
