A group of five of us are sharing a Chinese takeaway followed by a first game of the new edition Formula D. We shall be playing the Monaco side of the board. Will let you know how it goes and compares to the old edition Formula De.

Cool beans. The rules are basically the same. The terminology differs in a couple of places though. Have fun with it. Our monthly league night is this coming Thursday and we are racing on the Elkwater track. I was lucky enough to get all of the tracks last fall.  |

Well, I bought Formula D and played it a few times. Boys like it, girls don't. I got 4 extra old formula Dé circuits wich are compatible with Formula D. Wonderful game this one. A pity these old circuits are so expensive and hard to find...

Our monthly league night was last night. My wife, (girls do like it), took another first place finish. I am second in the driver standings, but thankfully my team is in first place.
League equals 6 players, (3 teams of 2).

Played the new version a couple of nights back. Monaco. Circuit is pretty much as before. like the new dashboard and gear stick and it's still a fantastic game. Big missed opportunity though... on a big bend (2/3) you have to remomember how many stops you've made... why didn't they add a section to the dashboard to do it!!! Oh well, looks like I'll be making some markers to cater for it. Race City next time...

We are just about to finish Season One of our Formula De League. A lot of fun. We already have ten people signed up for Season Two. 10 Racers 10 Races 10 Beer each for the entry fee. Looking forward to this. My driver, "Willie Survive", is doing well in Season One and I look forward to another great Season for Willie. |

Update for anyone who cares, (actually I just feel like bragging).  My driver, Willie Survive, finished season one in the top spot. The next two drivers were a mere 1 point behind me. Close to the end. In addition, our team took top spot by only 2 points. Top driver and 1st place team. WooHoo.  |

Wishmaster: One meeple for each stop! Great idea! The meeple race fans! And I was going to buy custom made stop tokens from Litko. I like this idea much better. Thanks. |

One of the guys that races brought his camera for the pre-season race. He snapped everyone's photo quickly before the race. |

Logo on the cap of the first driver is backwards. That would be me. I was leaning the wrong way in the picture, so Steve inverted it. I was wondering if anyone would notice. |
