Pit Stop is a board game released in 1972 for 2–4 players and 15 minutes per game. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move.
Pit Stop is a Formula One themed racing game where players roll the dice and move along the race track to be the first across the finish line. Various "Chance Spaces" add some variety by forcing players to re-roll the dice and refer to a "Chance Table" which has a variety of moves that can affect any of the players in the game. Players may also vary the progress of the game by changing lanes to try and block another player or by moving to an inside lane to decrease the total number of spaces until the finish.
Pit Stop supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Pit Stop is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
