A downloadable game

Touring card game based on the 1906 version created by William Janson Roche.


Original Rules:

The players run a race of 50 or 100 miles, as agreed before the game starts. A player cannot play the mileage cards (1, 3, 5, 10 Miles) unless they have a Go card in front of them. If both players are in City Limits (played by either), they can't play the 10 Mile card ("Speed Limit 5 Miles per Hour"); they can remove this card's effect by playing the Country! card (which affects both players). They lose 1 or 2 hours if an opponent plays a Collision ("Delay! 1 Hour"), Out of Gasoline ("Delay! 1 Hour"), or Puncture ("Delay! 2 Hours") card and must discard an "hour's" worth of cards for each hour (5 miles in the city, 10 miles in the country). To resume driving, they must also play a "Remedy" card (Hauled In for a collision and Gasoline for Out of Gasoline, nothing for Puncture) and a Go card. To win, the player must exactly match the total mileage (50 or 100 miles, as agreed).

This version deviates in some respects from these rules:

1) City Limit is played on the opponent not on both players.
2) The Delay 1 hour and 2 hour are not implemented.  This was not obvious to express in the interface and I don't think adds much to the game.
3) The winning score is always 100 miles and not agreed at the start of the game.

The game supports two human player in a "play and pass" implementation as well as a single player mode playing against the Paydate.

Please let me know of any issues and/or suggestions.
