Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card-driven initiative and action resolution — Players choose a card and resolve up to four steps in initiative order, using top or bottom halves of the card.
- Coaches and wax as modifiers — Coaches grant additional effects; wax tokens modify action costs or wind/pulse costs during actions.
- Drafting and wind effects on pulse — Being directly behind another player can reduce pulse; headwind and tailwind influence pulse adjustments.
- Hand management and recycling — Cards are discarded or moved to an removed pile; bullets allow picking up discarded cards to form new hands.
- Movement points and track types — Movement points are spent on uphill, flat, and downhill movement; entering a space costs one point matching the space type.
- Pulse management and wind interaction — Pulse changes based on actions and wind effects; wind can affect pulse and movement, with drafting reducing pulse.
- Race structure and finish — Two full laps with shooting; the first to cross the finish line with pulse not exceeding the limit wins.
- Shooting actions wait vs shoot — In the shooting range, players may wait to reduce pulse or shoot to gain hits.
- Shooting range phase with dice — In the shooting range, players roll five dice to determine hits; bullets and wind can modify hits.
