Have you ever wondered what it is like to drive a race car if you are a mole with very poor eyesight?

Well, it’s just like driving with your eyes closed!

Presentation

  • Time: 20-30 min
  • Players: 2 – 6
  • Language: English rules, no game text

Racing as a Mole is challenging, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. You have practiced using your inner eye and learned how to sense the corners and obstacles. You are ready to race for glory!

Grab your car, take another look at the track, close your eyes, and start moving. In Mole racing you take turns moving your car along the track, avoiding the fence and the other cars. The first across the finish line wins!

Gameplay
On each turn the active player grabs their car, closes their eyes, and moves as far as they want to or until they hit something (other players check for this and call out ”crash” as needed). If anything is hit, leave the car where it crashed and skip the next turn.
Near misses and smooth cornering make for exciting gameplay.
