Fast & Furious: Full Throttle

About this board game

Fast & Furious: Full Throttle is a hand-management racing game for 2–4 players that plays in about 30 minutes. Set in a crowded parking lot filled with distinctive imports, American muscle, and European cars, it puts you behind the wheel in a contest for speed, cash, and respect.

Every driver has special talents and a car souped-up with a range of upgrades. The goal is to reach full-throttle speed, but getting there requires more than simply playing cards. You must decide when to make the cool-headed move and when to risk spinning out of control.

Managing your hand is at the heart of the game. Discard cards to change gears, then play sets of cards to move your car. As your speed increases, speed penalties decrease your hand size, making each decision more important as the race develops.

• Hand management: Plan your cards carefully to keep your options open.
• Gear changes: Discard cards to shift gears and prepare for the next move.
• Risk and reward: Drive smoothly or look for an edge by banking everything on one flip of a card.
• Custom drivers and cars: Use special talents and upgrades as you pursue the lead.

Fast & Furious: Full Throttle captures the tension of pushing a powerful car harder while trying to stay in control. Choose the safe line, or take a chance when the opportunity for extra speed appears.
