In Rallyman: GT, the order of play isn’t constant - it can, and will, change each round, depending on how the race progresses. To help you to keep track of rounds, we’ve split them into “white” rounds and “black” rounds. A game of Rallyman: GT is made up of alternating “white” and “black” rounds. Each player gets one turn each round. The Round marker has a white side and a black side, as do the Gear markers. Gear markers allow you to keep track of the speed of a vehicle in between turns. At the end of their turn each player puts down a Gear marker of the colour of the next round. This allows you to immediately tell who has already played their turn this round. This Round marker is there to remind you which round is in play and therefore which Gear markers indicate if a car has or hasn’t played yet. At the end of a round the Round marker is flipped over and a new one can begin.

In Rallyman: GT, it’s all about speed! Even the smallest difference in your speed or positioning can mean going first in a round or not.
Going first gives you the chance to get ahead of your opponents and potentially out manoeuvre them, whereas going last can free up a lot of the track in front of you, giving you more options for your movement. Managing when you want to play in a round can open up some great opportunities during a race!
Order of play at the start of each round is determined by speed, then by the position of each car in case of a draw.

Rounds

A game of Rallyman: GT is made up of alternating “white” and “black” rounds. Each player gets one turn each round.

The Round marker has a white side and a black side, which allows you to immediately tell who has already played their turn this round. At the end of a round the Round marker is flipped over and a new round can begins.

Determining order of play

At the beginning of each round, you must first determine the order of play.

Order of play at the start of each round is determined by speed, then by the position of each car in case of a draw.

SPEED > DISTANCE > POSITION

  1. Speed - Start by identifying the fastest car. The car with the highest Gear marker always plays first, no matter where they are on the track.
  2. Distance - If two or more cars are going at the same speed, then order of play is determined by how far along the track they are. The car furthest ahead plays first.
  3. Position - In case of a draw in terms of speed and distance, the car situated on the inside lane of the next corner plays first. A “corner” is a section of track with speed limitations

The Turn

Once order of play has been established, each player takes their turn one after the other.

During their turn a player will do the following:

  1. Plan your turn
  2. Roll their dice and move their car.

Planning your turn

During their turn, players will use dice to accelerate, brake, and coast their way around the track. Your player board (and the summary at the top of the screen) shows what dice are available to you.

Each die number represents a gear. With each move you make, may go up or down one gear (or stay the same with a white die). You must always be moving forward. Each die may only be used once per turn.

Corners

Corner spaces have numbers in the middle which indicate the top gear in which you can safely navigate the corner. Exceed this number and you will lose control!

The inside line

Some spaces have dotted lines separating them, with a lower number or caution symbol next to it. The number indicates the highest gear you can use to safely move between those spaces. Exceed it and you will lose control! The caution symbol gives one extra caution result when moving (see below)

The outside line

Some spaces have a caution triangle around the number. This indicates that you get an extra caution result when you pass that space in that gear.

Rolling your dice and moving

Once you have planned your turn, you will roll your dice, either all at once or one at a time. But be careful: Exceed the safe number of caution symbols (generally three), and you will lose control!

All at once

This is the risky but brave choice: Roll your dice, and hope you get lucky. If you roll safely, you will get some focus tokens for your trouble: one per gear die (not brake or boost die) you rolled. These will come in handy later!

One at a time

Sometimes you need to play it safe. You can roll your dice one at a time, and stop at any time. This way you can stop if you are at risk of losing control.

Focus: While you are rolling your dice one at a time, you may find that you are at risk of losing control. You can spend the focus tokens you earned earlier to 'protect' your dice. Instead of rolling them you guarantee a safe result. But each die protected in a turn has a higher cost: the first die costs one, the second another two, the third another three, etc.

The dice

Some dice are safer than others: The white coast dice along with first and second gear only have one caution symbol on them while the other dice all have two.

Braking: You can jump down extra gears by adding a red 'brake' die to the space moved. Each red die lets you skip a gear. For example, you could go from fourth to 1st by rolling brake+brake+1, or from 6th to 4th by rolling brake+4. In this way you can move further on one turn, or end a turn in a higher gear.

Boosting: Similarly, the green 'boost' die available in some races lets you skip a gear upwards.

Coasting: White 'coast' dice let you stay in the same gear.

Overtaking

To enter a space adjacent to another player’s car, you must use a Gear die equal to or higher than the current Gear of the opponent’s car. Once your car is beside theirs, the rest of their movement can be at any speed.
