Title: What's this racing game?
Post by: qmech on March 24, 2013, 07:46:21 am

Many years ago I played a board game in which players raced along an endless desert road: there were three (?) board sections, and when the leader reached the edge of the track the last segment was moved to the front and any cars left on it were removed from the game.  There were different vehicle types: fast and light, or slower but able to attack other players.  The winner was the last player to have a car in the race.  If I had to guess at the name, it would be something like "Desert Rally".  I've looked through the BGG search results for "racing" and "desert" with no success.

Any ideas?

Never played it. Remember seeing TV Adverts.

Great!  Thank you both.  It seems to have become "vintage" (read "expensive") but I'll keep my eye out for a copy.
