Go 500 Racing Dice Game is a board game released in 2005 for 1–6 players and 5 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
A Stock Car racing themed "push your luck" dice game. Game consists of nine dice (five Black 'Track' dice, 1 White 'Flag' die, 1 Green 'Power' die, 1 Yellow 'Pit', and 1 Red 'Crash' die), dice cup, score sheet, rules and a drawstring travel bag. Object of the game is to be the first player to accumulate 500 miles (points) by rolling the dice. As is typical of dice games of this type, the player rolls the dice and may set aside rolled dice for scoring. The player may choose to stop rolling or continue rolling dice as long as a green flag is rolled on the flag dice. The flag dice is rolled each time the dice are rolled. If a different colored flag is rolled (yellow, red or black), the player's turn ends and the final score is modified (possibly down to zero) by the flag showing on the flag die when the turn ends.
