Racing & Betting In IELLO & Restoration Games' Downforce

7 Comments

We got a chance to sit down and look through a game which is able to combine two of my favourite things, racing and betting in tabletop games!

Downforce is one of those awesome games which has been given a new lease of life by Restoration Games with IELLO as another of the publishers for it.

In the game you are playing as the people betting on the racing drivers, trying to work out what position they are going to finish in and also outwit the others at the table, locking racers in place and stopping their cards from having the desired effect!

It seems like a great mix of games like Camel Up and Formula D!

Fun looking racing game. Did pass this one, but not had a chance to give it a go yet.

How come when one of the front wing elements gets knocked off, the car goes faster in the corners? “Downforce” is now on my must-buy list, and I haven’t even read the description yet. Mention Formula De and I’m sucked right in.
