Fast Track: The Speed Reaction Card Game

£13.00

If you love everything London and want to step into the world of London’s transport this is the perfect game for you. Designed with two-speed card game options, Fast Track shows you the vibrant world of London and its quintessential icons and landmarks in a family-friendly game format.

Included in the box are 108 game cards, and 2 buildings and icon cards to make the game a little easier to follow. The first game you can play is called ‘All Stations’, in which you set out a ‘Go To’ card which you then must match the line, building or icon from your given cards to. The aim of the game is to match as many of your cards as possible and be the first to run out of cards and shout ‘I’m Home!’. This game asks for speeds and quick matching – almost like playing snap – but with more matching options all using the iconic London landmarks. You can even up the stakes and ensure that you must correctly announce your match, and any alternative names given such as ‘dog’ rather than corgi stops the match.

The second game option is called ‘Route Planner’, where 6 cards are laid out to outline a route, and you must take cards from the ‘route’ to match each round's ‘Go to’ card. The speed element comes in when you must take the matching cards before your fellow players, and a new round begins when no more matches to the ‘Go to’ card can be found. The winner is the one who has collected the most cards across each round, however, there will be no cheating as after every round you must check your cards and any wrongfully chosen cards must be discarded along with another card as a penalty. This gameplay only ends when not enough cards are left to make a new route.

I think this would make a great gift for those who love all things London, and especially those visiting the capital from around the country and from abroad. The game is registered with Transport for London and provides you with the fun of the tube lines without the heat and noisy train lines. With multiple game options, the game provides endless game matching opportunities which is easy enough to follow for younger children, and sure to bring out the competitive nature of all adults playing too!

Additionally – Gibsons Games has partnered with TR[1]BE, and with every order placed on the website for Fast Track they will protect 5 trees and 100sq.m of rainforest from destruction! Even more of a reason to try out the game.
