PROMO: Thunder Alley: Crew Chief Expansion – The Dice Tower Effect Promo Pack (2017)

Rating based on one play where i ran a game for my games group remotely and sent them updates on WhatsApp. Was a lot of fun!

There's a lot of 'luck' in this game. A timely draw of a "Clean Air Card" or an unwanted yellow flag can easily make or break your chances. But it has some strategy as well - when to pit (if at all), piggy backing off other cars (and maybe being prepared to help them in order to be in a position to do this) and adapting to the particular track you're racing on. Most of all, it's about understanding that the game is, by nature, very swingy and making the most of your opportunities. If you're prepared for that then it is good fun

Great Racing game!

A really solid tactical maneuvering game. Don't be put off by the theme. I tell people "OK, imagine these cars are all salmon, and this is the river- first to get up the stream wins!"

This is once again a genre that is not my thing, but if I was, this is probably the best implementation I have yet played. I like it better than Formula D in a number of ways. It feels much more tactical and even strategic in long range planning. The card flow can determine your fate perhaps too much, but in general, the game is very well balanced. Timing is important in all aspects - especially in your pit stops which I believe is also a critical part of racing. So I like it!
