From the back of the box: Floor It! is very easy to play. Players choose the number of laps to race and then move around the track by choosing one of three card types - Floor It!, Cruise, or Take It Easy. The game is a trade-off between speed and safety. Each player must decide how they will drive in order to safely navigate the course. It is safest when driving in a straight section of the course. The greatest danger is when driving in a corner. A driver who decides to go fast or "floor it" is more likely to crash than a driver who chooses to "take it easy".
