Raceway 57 is a board game released in 2005 for 2–5 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Steve Edmiston and Tom Phillips.
From the box: Long before today's ultra-modern speedways and sleek, technologically advanced racing machines, yesterday's legendary drivers hurled themselves around dirt tracks strapped inside the very same cars that everyone else drove on the street. They were outlaws, yet they were the pioneers of American auto racing. This beautiful game lets you experience the full throttle excitement of America's fastest sport. Roll the dice or play a card to move your cast metal race car around the track as you manage valuable resources like fuel, suspension and tires. A metal dashboard with magnetized markers helps you keep track of your car and your opponents. Bumping and crashes are part of the sport but damage to your chassis might force you into the pits at the wrong time. A clean fast race to victory and you will receive the Raceway 57 trophy.
Raceway 57 supports 2–5 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 Raceway 57 is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Raceway 57 for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Raceway 57 has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
