Play Racing (1977)

This is a sports car racing game with a variable board of 6 pieces and 4 movable chicanes. Each player gets a board, where he indicates the speed, the additional gasoline and the brake reserves. The later two things are needed, when a player wants to reduce or amount his speed by more than 1 click on a 1-8 table. There are also 2 small decks of cards, which are used for pit stops or when a car goes off the track. Some of the cards also influence the condition of the track, so racing gets even harder to master than it is anyway. The game belongs to a series of 4 square cardboard games from Scandecor Play Racing, Play Olympic, Play Western, Play Pirates. It has funny comic drawings, which could easily be from Jean Jacques Loup, who has made many illustrations for puzzles.
