About the game
This off road racing game uses a large three dimensional board very similar to Fireball Island. Players race their 4x4 vehicles with the roll of a special six sided die without a 1 pip but it has a star instead. Rolling a star allows you to move opponents cars and roll again. Cars can roll freely on the board and possibly roll off the board or crash. When movement ends, you must release your 4x4 and see if it "free wheels." Rolling off the board or crashing means the loss of a turn while you get your 4x4 back on the road. Seven boulders on the road (placed at the start of the game) stop movement, but are removed from the game when first encountered. Light hearted and fun, especially with younger players.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
