About the game

In this simple racing game, a racing car, a motorcycle, a bicycle and a roller skater are competing. Each rolls varying number of dice, some of which are d3 instead of d6. The race is even because each racer has a different turnaround point (the race is won by the first to get back to the starting point after reaching his turnaround point). On average, all racers should finish neck-and-neck.
