FULL THROTTLE
Designer: Friedemann Friese | Publisher: Rio Grande Games
Full Throttle is a betting and drafting race game from prolific designer Friedemann Friese, with the novel theme of souped-up, low-powered mopeds.
Driving the action around the board’s simple circuit is a deck of racing cards, each one determining how far one of the six vehicles will move. Players don’t individually own any of the mopeds and instead play the part of spectators betting on the race. A number of racing cards will be drawn and activated each turn and, once movement ends, the small pile will be drafted. At this point each player will choose one card to retain as a bet with each card being worth a number of points depending on whether the corresponding moped finishes first, second, or third.
