RallyRas is a board game released in 2015 for 3–8 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 9 and up. It was designed by Pepe Roma and its main mechanics are Simulation, Team-Based Game, and Acting.
Are you ready to participate in the wildest rally race in the world? In RallyRas, players play in pairs — with one being the driver and the other the navigator — with them trying to complete a circuit as quickly as possible despite their communication problems. Each turn (lap), players must use a keyword to communicate, and the same word with different vowels indicates different things, e.g. "bango" -> right and "bengo" -> left. Each lap, the navigator flips cards with road signs (direction, gear, etc.), then tries to communicate these things to the driver via keywords. (With an odd number of players, the couples change after each turn.) ••• En RallyRas viviréis pequeños problemas de comunicación. Con ayuda de las cartas los jugadores tendréis que lograr entenderos, recorrer el circuito sin atropellos y llegar a la meta lo antes posible. ¿Preparados para participar en el rally más divertido del mundo? ¡¡Arranca!! Los jugadores jugarán por parejas, uno será el piloto y otro el copiloto. Con jugadores impares las parejas se alternan cada turno. Cada turno (etapa) utilizarán una palabra clave, sin una vocal, para comunicarse. Dependiendo con qué vocal la digan y cómo la palabra dará una indicación diferente. (Ej, BANGO -> derecha, BENGO -> izquierda) En un etapa, el copiloto dará la vuelta a las cartas con las indicaciones de carretera (dirección, marcha y trazada especial) y utilizará la palabra clave para indicar al piloto lo que hay en las cartas.
RallyRas supports 3–8 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 RallyRas is 15–30 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 RallyRas for ages 9 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.
RallyRas has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
