About the game
The card game loosely based on the board game Auf Achse. Players get 10 cards each. Cards are either distance cards (10km - 120km) or action cards. The action cards are Freight Lost (-50 cards), Barrier (triangle with -1), Free Ride (triangle with +1), Really Free Ride (triangle with +2). They lay, face down, one card in front of them for their distance traveled (run), and one in the center for the kilometer counter. Players must have their runs in increasing order, with at most one rest card in between. When the kilometer counter (center cards) reaches a certain limit (depending on the number of players) the stage is over. Players add up their runs. Five stages are played in a game and winner is player with highest run totals over the five stages
