Great vid. I have an old game called 'Formula 1' and wanted to see if the old one held up to the new one. It has some things that the new one doesn't and vice versa. Interesting.

Nice video. Brief and sticks to the point.

Pretty good overall, but basic game is two laps and Pitstop was completely skipped. That's what I really wanted to see as this leads to a lot of confusion for many.

Great explanation. It's funny how the Formula 1 cars look like they're moving backwards just because of the way they're designed. It's cool they have lot of expansions. Also cool are the different custom dice. I need the d30 for D&D lol

[GretOne]

great game - but can you explain the pit stops (advaned rules) I‘m not sure if I play this right…

[dannybuck]

LOL I see a box with what looks like an International Rescue vehicle illustrated on the side...does such a game exist?? If so, PLEASE let me know 😁👍

"formula D feels as if you're racing a racing car"
*simulation racing games have entered the chat*

No one is going to mention the F1 cars are backwards at the start?

did anyone else get 2 purple modified 20 sided dice and no Black Die?

Mechanically speaking, if you drive a car and you decide to accelerate, the car will respond. The outcome is very deterministic. It is different than combat where you plan, but the enemy will not respond to your plan. Combat has a higher degree of randomness, hence more suitable for dice rolling.
This is where Downforce makes more sense, because players may determine moves deterministically using cards, not dice.
In Rush and crush, dice are used to determine lanes you can switch. There are obstacles in the track so it becomes an evasion dice roll, which makes sense.
Dice are better use when randomness intervenes or when you need to automate a game, so it becomes a TV show where players cannot control the outcome. .

Thanks for the video!, , I have a silly question where two of the cars facing backwards? It looks as if they were.

Great video! 😀👍👍

Okay game, but gets a bit mindless after a while, plus whoever goes first has a big advantage. Rallyman GT has similar issues but requires brain power and is more fun.

Who came here after Shift F1 Season End review?

[aysegultugan]

great video but is this game a eurogame or not? I am considering the dice factor...

[duncanrae]

I have owned formula de since the 90s. I cant help but feel its the superior version. Generic wear points. Huger chances for catastrophes. Less strategy and more rando malarky. Des Cartes... This is my disappointed face.

If you like to count numerous times to 20 or 30, then this is your game!!!! If you miss a corner, you can't make it up again and will lose. Pretty boring game!!!
