Love downforce, great family game, once you have played it you will always remember how to play, also I think we have six tracks to play on .Hopping more are coming.Also love camel up .

Thanks for the review! Our game group usually plays one filler before our main game and we enjoyed Camel Cup which was a recent acquisition. This one is for sure going on our wish list--plus we have car racing lovers in our game group so the theme is a great bonus.

Hi Joel, at 7:58, did you mean to circle the 3rd place bet results for yellow rather than 2nd? I think that's what you meant? Hoping I understood the scoring correctly...

I was surprised at your thoughts here, but in a good way. I didn't really think this looked that interesting, but you made it sound more interesting. I like Camel Up as well, so I appreciated that comparison. Thanks for yet another interesting review.

Hoping this gets distributed in Europe, my kind of games.

This looks fun! I love Camel Up and so this seems right up my alley.
How does this play with just 2 players?

Joel, I've been watching your channel for over 3 years and never realised you're a Camel Up fan! I actually prefer Camel Up: Cards for game-play and portability, although it's a bit more fiddly than its bigger sibling. I'm curious to know your thoughts on it. Anyway, this one looks most intriguing and I'll wait to see if it arrives in the UK. Take care man and thanks for another great review!

Do you happen to know the difference between this and the Target version?

This game seems to be very, very similar to Long Shot. Now don't get me wrong, I look forward to playing Downforce, but Longshot's system of betting and keeping track of your winnings by using markers and money seemed simpler than having to use pen and paper and do all that math on the bottom of the sheet.
