Description

Race with your speedboat between the islands and round the buoys. Don't crash, and finish fast!

MAKE SPEED: Powerboats is an easy, tricky and fast game. Each player is a speedboat pilot. You race, accelerate or slow down by the use of the 1-2-3-dice (3-sided). Manage your speed and maneuver your boat fast through the course. Challenging races are possible with 2–6 or even more players—the more players, the more competition you feel each race.

POWERBOATS MECHANIC: Each turn you can go to the the left or right (60 degrees) before moving. The numbers on your dice together show the speed of your boat. You move your boat by this speed in a straight line. You hold your dice (your speed) until your next turn. Each turn you can add or remove 1 die to accelerate or slow down. And you can freely choose to reroll dice you already had.

NAVIGATE SMART: You can try to find short routes for your boat between the islands, or search for faster paths through the lake, where you may move a longer distance but hold more speed! Estimate your risks and look how fast other speedboats go. Look forward! Crashes damage your boat. Powerboats is a dice game, so luck plays its role. But managing your speed is challenging! The combination of acceleration/braking, finding routes through the lake and the competition with other boats make you a real speedboat pilot. Each course provides a new challenge.
