This game is all about mileage. You must follow the rules of the road, collect mileage while avoiding hazards on the imaginary road, and attempt to slow your opponents down by creating hazards for them.

Where to Play Cards

SET-UP

  • Sit across from your partner.
  • Pick a dealer
  • Remove the cards not used in play. The dealer shuffles and passes 6 cards, face-down and one at a time, to each player. The cards that remain from the draw pile.
  • Look at your hand.
  • The player to the left of the dealer starts first.

HOW TO PLAY THE CARDS

Hazard Cards

Stop, Out of Gas, Accident, Flat Tire

Play these on your opponent’s battle pile. You prevent your opponent from traveling further with these cards.

Speed Limit

Play these on your opponent’s speed pile. They are restricted to 25-mile or 50-mile distance cards.

Remedy Cards

Gas, Repair, Spare Tire

Play these on your battle pile in correspondence to the hazard card played. If you overcome the hazard, you can play a distance card.

Roll

Play these on a stop card that your opponent has played in opposition to you. After playing the remedy cards listed above, you must play a roll card to play more distance cards. The exception being the Right of Way card.

End of Limit

Play these on your speed pile, they go on top of a speed limit card. You may go at normal speed and play any kind of distance card.

Distance Cards

Distance cards can be played after a roll card is placed on the battle pile or when Right of Way is in your Area of Safety. You may combine distance cards to total 1000 miles, but you can only play two 200 miles cards at once.

Safety Cards

Ace

Right of Way, Puncture-Proof, Driving Ace, and Extra Tank

Play these cards in the Safety Area. You have a few advantages from this:

  1. Overcome Hazard card played against you already.
  2. Prevent Hazard cards for that hand.
  3. You draw another card and complete your turn.

Right of way has several uses of it’s own.

  1. Cancels out Hazards in play. Allows you to play 75, 100, and 200 mile distance cards despite the speed limit.
  2. Your opponent can not play a stop card or speed limit card.
  3. You can play distance cards without a revealed roll card.

Coup Fourré

Coup Fourré translates to counterthrust. This term describes counterattacks to an opponent. For example, if you have a safety card to respond to a Hazard card, immediately call, “coup fourré.” It does not have to be your turn to call it. This gives you the following advantages:

  • Remove the Hazard card from the battle or speed pile.
  • Take an additional turn.
  • You have protection from a hazard card that corresponds to that safety card for the remainder of the hand.
  • Earn a score of 100 basepointss for the safety card and 300 extra points for Coup Fourré, a total of 400 points.

PLAYING THE GAME

Turns have two parts: draw a card and either play a card or discard one. You always have 6 cards in hand.

  1. Play a roll card face-up on the battle pile. Your turn finishes and play passes on to the opponent on your left.
  2. If you have a safety catd in hand you can play it face-up in the Safety area. After playing one of these cards, take another turn. Draw another cards and play as usual. If you play another safety card, repeat.
  3. Speed limit cards are played in front of your opponent, on their speed pile.
  4. If you cannot play in the following ways, duscard a single card, face-up.

The second player has two additional possibilties in addition to the ones above. You can play a hazard card (on top of a roll card) or play an end of limit card (on top of a speed limit card).

ENDING HANDS

A hand can be ended in two ways: a team completes a single trip of exactly 1000 miles OR the draw pile is exhausted. In that case, after all cards have been played in hand the game finishes.

If you hit 1000 miles after the draw pile is empty this is called Delayed Action. If you are able to complete a trip in this manner you earn an extra 300 points.

WINNING

Games typically have several hands. Total each hand after they finish. The first player or team to reach or exceed 5000 points wins. If both teams hit 5000 points in the same hand the teams with the most points wins.
