THINK: Hurry Cup! Hurrican (featured game)



2009/10/31

Hurry Cup! is a popular leisure activity among those in high society, where the rich and famous hop into their beloved classic cars and race through the many picturesque towns in Europe.
Speed, cunning and guile are needed to stay ahead of your fellow racers. Rapid decision-making, dexterity and risk-taking are also required.


Each round, a number of dices (equal to the number of players) is placed in a dice cup by one player, shaken and the cup placed upside down on the table. The cup is then removed, and every player grabs a pawn (located in the centre of the table) corresponding to the colour of the die he/she wants.


The number on the dice (which represents your fuel tank) has two effects. Firstly, it represents the maximum number of spaces your car can move. So the higher the number, the better (eg. “6”).


However, it also determines the speed (in km/h) at which your car is travelling, as players must multiply it with the roll of another die (which represents the accelerator). In this case, the lower the number, the better (eg. “1”).
