Skid-O

One of the scarce editions from the so-called Pepys "Double Feature Games". As with most of the Pepys games there are cards (50), but added is a game mat of paper (enforced with raw canvas on the back) and 6 cardboard speedway riders on wooden stands. Aim of the game is to round the course the quickest with your rider, trying to block your opponent, just like in real speedway. Players use their different cards (a hand of 7) to funnel out the best combinations, as the cards have different movement value which can be combined with other cards to more advantage. Before game starts, players have to agree the number of track rounds they play (4 is the number in real speedway).
