DOWNFORCE!! One of my favourites!! Just wanted to say, it plays very different in 2-player than with 3-6 players. Personally, I adore the chaos of a full table.
@@WatchItPlayed Yup! I have them all! My favourites are the purple "night circuit" from the first expansion, and the one with the jumps from the second.
@@zdelorean My first time playing it was 2 player with a friend and it was...fine. Just fine. But it really shines in my opinion at higher player counts. And because of the design, it has almost identical gameplay length regardless of number of players.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I'm hoping to purchase this game in the next week or two, and if I enjoy playing it half as much as watching the fun you two got out of it, it'll be money well spent!
Goodness, watching this makes me want to pull out my copy and hit the pedal! Such a fun game. Way to control the choke points; that and having all the six numbered cars and the power was a trifecta, ruthless indeed.
Well, it is from Restoration Games, based on a game originally from, I think 1977! It's a wonderful game, so easy to teach, with lots of opportunity for strategy and interesting choices, and every game is filled with laughter and cheers!
Grea game!! But, I'm wondering where these power cards came from? These are all different ones that in my version of the game, and I don't think they are in either of the 2 expansions... Any idea where I could get that set of power cards? Thanks!
In Rodney's teaching video, there were other power cards than the ones y'all had (unless I'm remembering wrong). Are there more than 6 power cards included with the game or possible expansion? EDIT now that I've finished the video: This game looks so cool! It's mechanically light but still really compelling and engaging. I don't think I have room on my shelf for more but I think I'd like to have this game, or at least a friend that has this game. Lastly, I just wanna say both y'all's hair is looking great!
Very fun game! I played with 3 and it was a relatively short but fun game. I think one of the racers ran away with it and the others couldn’t really keep up, but the multiple drivers and betting made it interesting to the end
I just saw this game at Target this past weekend. I was holding it in my hand and ready to walk to the checkout lane. But then I thought to myself that the little cars looked cheaply made, so I put the game back on the shelf. BIG MISTAKE! Looks like I'm making a trip to Target this weekend. 😉
Check target's sites and others. Target matches most other big chain stores. I bought GLOOMHAVEN JOTL there and paid $39 instead of $49 because of their website. Good luck.
For all of the bets. You'll find this detailed in the tutorial video here (there are timestamps to help you find the section you are curious about): ua-cam.com/video/CpihysTOamo/v-deo.html
Like many, I’ve pumped up my version with Mario Kart!! A buddy and I also created some rules which incorporate chain chomps and piranha plants, item boxes, and grabbing dropped coins! If you want to show it off and play, we can do a stream thing and I’ll run the board. Bowser, Metal Mario, Rosalina, blue shells, tornadoes, fire balls, let’s gooo!
Hey there, you'd have to provide a time stamp for the section you are asking about. It sounds like you might be describing a situation in which a car is passing two others through a diagonal though, which is allowed. You'll find the full tutorial for how to play here: ua-cam.com/video/CpihysTOamo/v-deo.html
Hey Gregory, I didn't have timestamps, but your comment had me concerned, so I watched the video through again and did not find any faults in her movement. If you have a timestamp for a mistake, let me know, but I'm wondering if you misunderstand the rules for movement. We have our full tutorial here, but I'll link to the section on the rules for movement: ua-cam.com/video/CpihysTOamo/v-deo.html You can go to an adjacent space, the restriction is based on the front line of the space.
This makes more sense now. I had the idea that both spaces at the 24:10 mark would have been perpendicular and not a legal move but now that I read that it makes sense. We dont have a target in my home town so I haven't played this game before. I'm really looking forward to my copy coming in the mail!
NOTE: We are playing with the Target edition for Downforce. It is similar to the original edition, but has some adjusted Power cards.
DOWNFORCE!! One of my favourites!! Just wanted to say, it plays very different in 2-player than with 3-6 players. Personally, I adore the chaos of a full table.
Have you tried any of the expansion maps yet?
@@WatchItPlayed Yup! I have them all! My favourites are the purple "night circuit" from the first expansion, and the one with the jumps from the second.
In your opinion, is it worth picking up for just 2 player?
@@zdelorean My first time playing it was 2 player with a friend and it was...fine. Just fine. But it really shines in my opinion at higher player counts. And because of the design, it has almost identical gameplay length regardless of number of players.
@@zdelorean it's on board game arena (if you have that)
Another video with two of my favorite board game peeps playing one of my favorite games. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks Daniel - glad you enjoyed!
"Yellow moves two... 'move-move' (no movement)" cut to expression on Naveen's face. 😂
Right? Poor Naveen :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this one! I'm hoping to purchase this game in the next week or two, and if I enjoy playing it half as much as watching the fun you two got out of it, it'll be money well spent!
So glad you had fun watching - have an even better time playing!
You guys are so fun to watch. My hubby and I enjoy playing this game!
So glad you're enjoying the game, and our videos!
Goodness, watching this makes me want to pull out my copy and hit the pedal! Such a fun game.
Way to control the choke points; that and having all the six numbered cars and the power was a trifecta, ruthless indeed.
Lots of clever (and mean) game play in this one!
Such a fun game! I love the way you two play.
Really fun! I think I need to pick this one up as a present for my sister. I'd love to see you guys play this again at a higher player count.
Glad you enjoyed, and I hope you get to try it in a game with your sister :)
Naveen’s face in the thumbnail says it all. 😂
You can feel the pain!
I can attest that Monique is just as cutthroat at the table just as she is in these videos. That's why I love playing games with these folks.
I look forward to when I get to play a game with them in person too!
Thanks for showing this at two. Have it for larger groups but looks like fun at 2 as well.
Glad you enjoyed the head to head competition!
Downforce is a lot of fun. Nice to see it get a playthrough here.
I love the combination of racing and placing bets.
Great Job Monique and Nav....this was fun. Looks like I got a new game to purchase!
Glad you enjoyed the racing - thanks for joining us! :)
Exactly, the same thing over here.
Ooooh. OUR FAVORITE GAME!
But the power cards that we have are very different. There's this "Aggressive" power card, everyone in my family fights for it.
Can we have a pro board gamer circuit? Monique would be a formidable force!
This is one of your best videos.
Thanks so much!
Man, I love the look of this game! Like powered-up Parcheesi
So glad you enjoyed what you saw :)
I like the somewhat Vintage look of this game :D
Well, it is from Restoration Games, based on a game originally from, I think 1977! It's a wonderful game, so easy to teach, with lots of opportunity for strategy and interesting choices, and every game is filled with laughter and cheers!
@@DenisRyan hey no spoilers! 😂 I think I'll add it to my list 😁
@@DenisRyan Yes. The original seems to be a spin-off of 3M's Speed Circuit. Similar in style, a bit different in play. Excellent games.
It’s got a really nice, crisp art style, doesn’t it?
@@WatchItPlayed this is going to sound weird but it reminds me of the old games in my grandmother's basement. 🤷♂️

These power cards come from the Target edition of the game which is releasing (now, I think?).
In Rodney's teaching video, there were other power cards than the ones y'all had (unless I'm remembering wrong). Are there more than 6 power cards included with the game or possible expansion?

The version they have here is the new one for Target - rules are the same, but some powers are removed, I believe.
Very fun game! I played with 3 and it was a relatively short but fun game. I think one of the racers ran away with it and the others couldn’t really keep up, but the multiple drivers and betting made it interesting to the end
Yeah, I really like the betting aspect - it keeps everyone involved, even when their personal cars are falling behind.
Just got my copy for 5 bucks at dollarama lol LOVE it.
Nice find!!
Is an orc driving that red car? Because RED GOES FASTAH!

So are there any points awarded for the two earlier bets or is it just the final bet?
For all of the bets. You'll find this detailed in the tutorial video here (there are timestamps to help you find the section you are curious about): ua-cam.com/video/CpihysTOamo/v-deo.html
I always overpay for green in this game. No strategy there, I just really like green.
I have a similar problem with the blue car...
Been there mate, my wife is also ruthless. Great gameplay.
Always a good time when the players are invested - lots of well executed moves here!
This is a very decent game. Reminds me of 3M's Speed Circuit but with a definitive twist. Haven't gotten any of the expansions for it yet though.
I really like the map with ramp jumps :)
@@WatchItPlayed That must be the Danger Zone expansion?
@@timd4524 I think so. I took it out of the packaging, so don't recall the exact name now.
Hey! Can you also make a playthrough of pandemic hot zones: hemisphere?
Thanks for the interest!
That looked like a really fun game!
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for checking it out with us!
Great video!
Thanks Henri!
Your power cards are different than mine.
They are playing with the new edition releasing from Target, which has some new Power cards.
question...early in the year, Naveen was on a hot streak and it was being touted as the "year of Naveen". how has that been going lately?
I think this episode might give some indication ;)
@@WatchItPlayed sorry to hear that, Naveen. I am pulling for you.
Is this like heat: pedal to the metal?
They are both racing games, but I think you might find they play quite differently.
Great review and gameplay, sorry bud she was just beautifully plain vicious. Keep the good work!
Monique doesn't mess around!

how did the yellow passed green and blue if they had him on both sides?

I also want a planet t-shirt.. :(
How many people can play this?
Up to six. You'll find the full tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/CpihysTOamo/v-deo.html
definitely a cool game. simple but cool. I just don't like betting. I suck at it. I have no moral thing against it lol.
Fair :)
Jogo incrível!
Glad you've enjoyed it!
She made 3 illegal moves. The cars cannot go sideways, it can go diagonal, but not how she played them
