About the game

Nitro Dice is a card game despite the name. The dice are used as the race cars with the speed recorded on the die so everyone can see the state of the racers with just a glance. The cards are used both as the track which is customizable to the players taste and as a means to maneuver by matching the track sections you travel over with the same types from your hand. Some track cards have hazards on them allowing you to put obstacles in your opponent’s way forcing them to expend cards or take damage. Racers also have Nitrous Oxide tanks for an added boost for passing or just staying ahead of the pack.
