Things to Keep in MindA common concern among reviewers is the product's condition upon arrival, with multiple reports of damaged boxes, cracked inserts, or bent components, often linked to inadequate shipping protection. Furthermore, some players find the included plastic car miniatures to be of mediocre quality and player dashboards thin, which may not align with expectations given the game's relatively higher price point. Why You'll Like ItPlayers consistently praise the game for its engaging and strategic racing experience, noting that its core rules are quick to learn and accessible to a wide range of players. The robust design, including clever 'catch-up' mechanics and a variety of integrated modular expansions and tracks, ensures high replayability and allows for customized game complexity across diverse player counts, including effective solo play.
