  • Deck-building/deck manipulation prior to race — Players look at their hand of three cards, choose one to add face-down to the racing deck, and the deck is then shuffled to form 18 cards plus their hands for the race.
  • Fall, recover, knockout, and disqualification — Mascots can fall (recover or be knocked out), or be disqualified for various actions (off track, off sides, too far behind).
  • Movement rules with collisions and crawls — Mascots move according to cards with rules for turning, crawling when down, and collisions that can push other mascots or cause falls.
  • Three-race round structure with a final twist — Three races per game with a special rule in the third race; winnings aggregate, with no conventional winner/loser but life-outcome tied to winnings per the rulebook.

  • elimination_and_scoring — Mascots can be eliminated by falling off or failing to recover; scoring occurs after a race ends and betting tickets are resolved, with payouts based on final standings.

  • prediction_and_side_bets — Players can place prediction bets on outcomes like which mascot finishes first or whether a crawl finishes in the final stretch, adding meta-play outside direct race results.
  • risk_vs_safe_betting — Bets are categorized as risky or safe; risky bets pay more if the racer wins first place, but can yield worse outcomes for other positions.
