The best server workers gathered together to finally decide, who would be the fastest. The servers are waiting. The cables are red hot. Let the race begin!
Speedport is a dexterity game, where all that matters is your speed. Players must create patterns on their boards using cables, and only the fastest will win!
HOW TO PLAY? IT’S SIMPLE:
Take your server and 4 cables.
Put one pattern card on the table.
Lay out this pattern as fast as possible by plugging the cables into the server.
The one who arranges the pattern first needs to shout SPEEDPORT!
If the pattern matches, the pattern card goes to the player as a point.
(The game is played up to 5 points. Do not remove the cables from the server after the first round of the game).

Quotes (from this video)
- This is kind of like Click Port except not at all except fact it has the same wires cuz it's a dexterity game
- The first one to arrange the pattern yells Speed P if the pattern is correct they get a point
- This game hurts my fingers probably scratched up something I I'm trying to go fast got to go fast faster
- If you think you're not going to win that round it is probably better to just unplug stuff and wait so that you have a fresh board rather than try to deal with the tangled mess that you already have
- I enjoyed Speedport more but that might just be because I was kind of good at it
