About the game
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.
