Downforce: Danger Circuit

About this expansion

Downforce: Danger Circuit is an expansion for Downforce with two new tracks, six racer powers, and a double-sided game board for 2–6 players, with a play time of approximately 40 minutes.

Take on Switchback Pass, a track marked by dangerous spaces. Cars may pass through these spaces only when overtaking other cars, and they may not finish their movement on one. This rule creates risky moments as racers navigate the course and look for the right opportunity to advance.

On the reverse side, Crosstown Speedway introduces two crossover loops where cars behind can block cars ahead. The track also contains split areas, giving players a choice between a shorter single-lane section and a longer, more open route.

Danger Circuit also adds six powers that can be shuffled with those from the base game. Each one rewards a different position or movement situation:

• Tough: Move 2 additional spaces when your car ends its movement next to a red-and-white rumble strip.
• Bold: If your car would move 1 or 2 spaces on your turn, move it 3 spaces instead.
• Defensive: If none of your cars move on your turn, move one of them 3 spaces.
• Reckless: Gain 2 additional spaces when your car moves diagonally between two adjacent cars.
• Experienced: Move into the space directly ahead of your car when a car starts there and moves away.
• Ambitious: Move 2 additional spaces when your car crosses a betting line on any player’s turn.

With its two distinct circuits and varied abilities, Downforce: Danger Circuit expands the race with new track hazards, route decisions, and movement effects.
