Each player takes turns moving their position marking indicators on the playing surface according to a roll of a pair of dice. Players landing on special instruction squares, slides, or card pickup locations will follow the instructions given the board or card. Gameplay is varied by allowing the players to draft other cars, and through special modifiers such as rubbing and roll cards.
