ABSTRACT:
An auto racing board game includes a game board having a track layout with multiple lanes and overlapping lane spaces, with a starting line, victory lane and winner's circle. Player position markers (preferably resembling racing cars) are provided, with a lap chart/score sheet for each player and a series of lap and pit cards. Players choose position markers as desired, and the order of play is established by dice or the like, with the first player having the lowest number having the "pole position" at the starting line inside lane and other markers positioned accordingly. Play alternates among the players, with the quantity of each move being determined by the dice or other suitable device. Players can move their markers laterally to an adjacent lane space to attempt to achieve an advantage, and must draw lap cards periodically according to the lap chart/score sheet and pit cards when required to enter the pits according to the score sheet. The cards may provide some advantage or setback to the player drawing the card. Caution periods may occur according to cards drawn, which allow players to make up some portion of a multiple lap deficit, if any. Players completing a predetermined number of laps enter victory lane enroute to the winner's circle. While jumping other markers is not permitted during the race, such jumping is permitted on victory lane. A player must achieve the exact number required in order to land precisely in the winner's circle and win the game.
