Parker Brothers Formula One

Three players would show up for the game night and go - "The Distance"

"Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes, the flags go up.

Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup."

The game night started with Formula One Parker Brothers edition.  Random car draw put Jon Mark in the Blue bomber, Ted in the Red Rocket and Ken in the "Nothing Rhymes with Orange" car.  Beer bottles were popped open and the game began.

"They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,

Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.

Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.

Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down."

We ran a 5 lap race and this is where the game really shines.  Tactics cards and pit stops all came into play.  Jon Mark couldn't move without burning tire rubber.  Ken pulled out to lead the pack in the late race but a die roll squelched his run for first.

"The fans get up and they get out of town.

The arena is empty except for one man,

Still driving and striving as fast as he can."

At the finish line we have Ted 1st place with 10 points, Jon Mark second with 6 and Ken in Third with 4 points.
