01:15:06   Final Racing Thoughts




Racing board games ignite the thrill of the track, where strategy meets speed. And being from NASCAR country, we enjoy our racing games. In this episode we explore three different styles of racing games: Charioteer, Rallyman Dirt, and Heat-Heavy Rain




Charioteer:

Race into the winner’s circle with this set collection style racing game.



Play your cards to either sprint ahead, damage your opponents or navigate the turn of the forum.



Strategic card play will definitely factor in on who will win this game.





Rallyman: Dirt:

Rev your engines by rolling dice and completing the track in the best time.



Push your luck as you navigate treacherous turns to outpace your opponents.



Modular tracks, dice-driven movement, and strategic decisions are key aspects of this game.





Heat Heavy Rain:

Are you ready for two new tracks for Heat, then pick up this expansion.



New elements on the track will test your hand management skills as you race into the corners.



Draft, strategize, and sprint to the finish line while dealing with your opponents in this expansion for Heat: Pedal to the Metal






Sandbag is an anti-trick taking card game where you look to manipulate trump but in doing so help out the other players. Agueda is a collection game where you are trying to meet three scoring objectives set forth at the beginning of the game. While playing, the family compared it to Azul, but with a little less stress and hate drafting.



Thanks for listening and those back from Origins, hope you had a wonderful time. The post RDTN Episode 325: Charioteer, Rallyman Dirt, Heat, Sandbag, Agueda first appeared on Rolling Dice & Taking Names.

Board games—those magical realms where cardboard, dice, and imagination collide. Whether you’re plotting world domination or unraveling mysteries, these tabletop adventures unite friends, families, and foes. And in this release, we hear Marty’s family tell you why that is true with their reviews of Donut Shop and Granblue Fantasy Skirmish Game.



But we also hear about a card game that fits right at home with RDTN called Squirrels: The Card Game. This Uno style game with a solid competitive flare will get the whole family involved as you see who can get rid of their nuts first. 



Finally, Marty tells me about what a miss and sounds like I missed a great game night with Skyrise. Roxley has had some solid games lately and this just adds to the collection. Hope I will get to see it on the table soon.

If spatial relations are not your thing, you’re not alone. I have always had trouble seeing what shape an unfolded piece of paper would make. But I also know that I can pack a car with luggage or don’t have navigational challenges. So, games like Tangram City are good ways for me to practice the challenges that I have with spatial relations. 



We also played several games that were quick hitters and enjoyable. Vampire Village has the elements in a game that we like with card passing and then card assignment. Having Unmatched bring in some classic literature was fun and makes us reflect to our high school days as we reminder Shakespeare or what little remember from the plays. 



Then the new GMT title Vijayanagar was so nice. In my opinion, a COIN style game that seemed to move at a great pace and still kept the elements that make COIN so popular.
