Crazy Karts - How To Play

[@KingRecycle69]

Crazy to think this all started in some basement. Glad to see this channel is still going. I love watching people play board games.

[@WatchItPlayed]

And guess what? Same basement! Glad to have you still watching :)

[@keving82383]

Another top-notch video; thanks Rodney! Game looks entertaining for sure. I love the Mario Kart Double Dash flair.

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Kevin Gordon Thanks Kevin!

[@kevinerskine3299]

I love partner games like this. It's especially hilarious with kids.

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Kevin Erskine Yes, I'm looking forward to introducing this one to Luke :)

[@JChalant]

Woah...missed a few episodes, love this intro!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm happy to be using it too :)

[@charlesamir]

Thanks for the video ! :) Hope that you will have fun playing this game as much as I had fun designing it. I've always been a big fan of team games and there are not enought according to me.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you took the time to check out the video Charles, it was an honour to feature your design. I hope I pronounced your name mostly right :)

[@peteshirey5296]

I want to play this one! looks like a game I would enjoy!

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Pete Shirey We should have got you in on the game at CMoN Expo.

[@KnightOwl23]

Great looking race game.

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Alan Forsyth (TMUK) Thanks for checking it out Alan!

[@hatchhermit77]

It looks a lot more fun than I thought it would. I may have to pick it up at Origins.

[@WatchItPlayed]

They should have some demos too, if you need to check it out further. Thanks for watching the video!

[@zerobadideas]

Great video. This looks crazy and awesome. I think we might have enough racing games in our collection, though... Formula D, Gravwell, K2, and I just bought the excellent Steampunk Rally a couple weeks ago. And I still have Titan Race on my wishlist, after seeing Pep show it off. Also, I've never understood the concept of a qualifying race or lap. You're racing to determine racing order for the race? Utter nonsense :P I actually think Formula D is supposed to have a qualifying lap, but we've never actually played more than one lap in a sitting, so I don't even know how the pit lane works. At least here there are intriguing tangible benefits for the next lap :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Zero Bad Ideas You could certainly just skip the qualifying race and just jump to the full race in a game like this, if a group wanted.

[@thedude3028]

looks like a cool game

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@JessicaFStudyAbroad]

Can you explain how the elf power works? We just played this tonight and the elf power felt very op.

[@WatchItPlayed]

During the elf turn if they've used their power, they can pick up power-ups from adjacent spaces that they drive by. It's important to note though, that they cannot pick up a power-up from the same space more than once in a turn. Even if they were to later drive over that space, they can't get two power-ups from one space.

[@GWong-vp5tt]

Hey hi there. When it says disccard, is it until the end of the round or until the end of the game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Can you provide a time stamp so I know specifically what you're referring to?

[@GWong-vp5tt]

@@WatchItPlayed sorry its not in your video, its in the power up token or damage cards

[@dragonpynk]

This game looks like a hoot! =o)

[@WatchItPlayed]

+dragonpynk Thanks for checking it out Dragon!

[@bravoalley228]

is it produced by the same as Titan Race?

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Bravo Alley No.

[@GreyHulk2156]

+Bravo Alley Exactly what I was about to ask too. The design of the game is incredibly similar.

[@Adran06]

Awesome game Rodney. You guys gonna play? I'll be your partner!

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Adran06 We'd probably want 4 players to do this as a game play, so probably not, but you can watch a game play here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5yppnafq6xkn5Y

[@engin.eraydin]

New animated intro seq.? :) Cool!

[@WatchItPlayed]

New-ish :) Was also on My Village and 51st State.

[@sebastienjouret4243]

Hi i watched your guide and thanks a lot for the explanation. But can you give me similar board games? I love to play such games with friends... I already have formula d, rush and bash. I'm really looking for games such as crazy karts of rush and bash.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed! Sorry, but I don't do personalized game recommendations.

[@conrad8567]

You would probably really enjoy Gaslands

[@DenisRyan]

I can't help calling this game, and even hearing it called, Kwazy Karts. I'm going to leave this comment without explaining the reference.

[@kruskisking2062]

Denis Ryan Brooklyn Nine Nine?

[@Leron...]

Rodney, if you've already given this game a play or more can you make any comments on down-time? seems like with newer non-gamer players there could be a lot of down-time...

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Leron Tolmachev I try to avoid commenting on those aspects or a game, as it's going to be very unique to the group. Resolving your board, really should go quickly, as all the individual actions are quick (and you often don't have cards on all the spaces anyway). There is a video here showing a full game being played by the Portal staff: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5yppnafq6xkn5Y

[@jaymercado2604]

How does one play with only 2 people?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I misspoke, it's a 3-8 player game. Sorry about that!

[@stevefett1]

I don't think this game looks very good. For the type of game it is there sure seems to be a lot to deal with.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video! We certainly hope you can get the information to decide one way or the other on whether a game would be a good fit :)

[@esarandom]

The game feels like wacky, crazy, random stuff happening...but more geared towards gamers because of the amount of details. Reminded me about Rattle Battle Loot (also from Portal Games), where the randomness and silliness of the dice throw didn't appeal to the more euro game thinky crowd (Power Grid, Terra Mystica etc.), but contained too many rules for a family/beginner game. I loved Rattle Battle Loot, and purchased Crazy Karts the moment it arrived to my local game store. I'm lucky to have friends who value the unique experiences and stories these games produce, but or ok with the amount of detailed rules to some degree. Also thanks to Rodney for another awesome tutorial! I came to check the video after reading the rulebook, in case I missed anything :)
