Th...Definitely! I'd love to see yours as well.<br /><br />The Impossible Machine is a pretty fun light game. It goes up to 5 players, and is very easy to teach. I have a few small issues with it, but their easy enough to overlook. Also, someone else picked it to play again. I would have chose something different just to keep things fresh.<br /><br />Leaping Lemmings looks like much more than a race game. I've never seen it before today though. Formula De is really simple. Choose whether or not you want to o up or down a gear. Roll to move. You have to stop in teach curve (the bigger the curve, the more stops you have to make) so you can't just speed right through the course. There are 5-6 different ways of taking damage (blowing tires, breaks, engine) and you really have to be careful to survive the course. I have an older game called Turbo that's really similar. If you were going to play I'd suggest the newer Formula D. It looks amazing and added things like Turbo and Drifting. Also, it's much better with 3+ players. We played with 2 the first time, and it wasn't nearly as chaotic.Jason Tagmirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664578674874173960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-34979017376204416342011-09-05T20:05:49.818-07:002011-09-05T20:05:49.818-07:00Great stuff!

Seems like you guys are having fun with it.<br /><br />Formula De has been very popular with the Western Australian Boardgame Association, so I've been interested in it. We don't have any race games in our personal collection yet. I was thinking about getting Leaping Lemmings maybe? But I'd like to try Formula De some time.Edward J Grug IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683731839349876559noreply@blogger.com
