Thunder Alley

Roaring engines, screeching tyres and a pack of cars shooting through the corners right behind each other. In Thunder Alley you do not get behind the wheel of a single car. Instead you steer a whole team of 3 to 6 cars around the circuit. That makes every race more than a chase for the chequered flag. You want your entire team to score well, because if only one car crosses the line you still end the day empty handed. The game is all about cards and about timing. You can break away from the pack with a solo move, or keep your cars neatly together by drafting in the slipstream of the rest. Choose wrong and suddenly you are alone on the track while the others race past. Meanwhile your tyres wear down, your engine can splutter and you need to hit the pits in time. Do you dare to run one more lap hoping for a yellow flag? Or do you run into rain clouds and bad luck that throw your whole plan into disarray? Thunder Alley comes with four different circuits, from a wide fast oval to a tight little track where you fight bumper to bumper for every position. The same set of cards works brilliantly on one circuit and not at all on another, so you keep adapting. Will you play with a big group of up to 7 people, or go for the tense duel with two players and six cars each? Both make for an evening full of excitement right up to the final metre.
