Great Turtle Race

Description

Turtles are seldom in a hurry, but once in a while they find a reason to race – for instance, to win a delicious, mouth-watering, green lettuce! Since turtles can get tired really quickly, you’ll often catch them taking a rest on the back of another turtle so that they can get carried along for while. And, sometimes in the confusion, you’ll even find a turtle running in the wrong direction! If you play your cards right, use a clever strategy, and have a a little bit of luck, it might just be your turtle that gets to enjoy the tasty lettuce!

Before starting the game, each player secretly draws a color to know which turtles they are with. Turtles’ movement is controlled by cards drawn from a common pool (always chosen from 5 cards in hand). These cards depict colored (one-color or rainbow) turtles and movement (1 or 2 steps forward, 1 step backwards; also, in case of some rainbow-colored turtle cards, moving the last turtle forward). When a turtle moves on a space where another turle is waiting, it is placed on the top of that turtle. When a turtle with other turtles on its back is moved, all the other turtles on top of it are carried with this turtle. The first turtle to reach the last field wins.
