About the game
Dash! is a racing game with a twist. The rules are easy to learn, and it combines the tactics of timing your movement and special abilities with a light dose of strategy. It’s fun for the family and for regular gamers looking for something casual with a moderate challenge! Move faster by using better combinations of race cards, but manage them well – or you might run out of cards before the finish line! Race through three districts in Singapore, or stop along the way to experience the rich sights and culture of the city. By moving more quickly through the first couple of districts, you can get better power-ups. No one wants to come in last and be left with nothing. Seize the chance to shock your friends and family with a big bang, or leave behind a trap for them to trip over. Probably, they’re also plotting to do the same to you. Dash to the end of the third race, where the winner takes all! Will it be a close finish amongst the players with the most power-ups, or will the last player take advantage of the chaos to sneak in and win the game?
