Mark & Bein: Autorennen

Motor racing game published in the Pöppel-Revue magazine, Issue 72. The track is marked in small squares. Each player uses a different coloured pencil. In a turn you can set your speed, which starts at 1. This lets you move one square. On subsequent turns you can increase or decrease your spped by 1. So a car travelling at speed 3 may, next turn, go down to 2, go up to 4, or to stay at 3. Your move is drawn on to the board, so different colored pencils or pens is essential. All movement must be in a straight line for each move, so you can only change direction on your next throw, and so on. Thus, it is possible to crash if you go too fast around a corner. Forward planning is required. The torturous track is, in effect, a figure of eight. First car home, wins.
