Goal

nestorgames GP is a push-your-luck Formula racing game designed by Néstor Romeral Andrés. Players pilot racecars around asphalt circuits, pushing their luck with dice to overtake rivals, dodging hazards, and avoiding high-speed corner crashes. The first car to complete all laps takes the checkered flag, and championship points are awarded to determine the Grand Prix winner!

Components & Hazards

Component	Visual	Description & Rules
Formula Racecar		Each player controls 1 car (or 2–4 cars in Team GP). Each car starts with 6 dice . Crashed cars flip belly-up.
Speed Die (D6)		Rolled one by one on a turn to accumulate Movement Points (MP).
Rocket		Usable before rolling: target the nearest car directly ahead in an uninterrupted straight line. Roll 1D6: if roll ≥ distance, direct hit! The target car (and all occupants on its space) crashes (flips belly-up, loses 1 die). Recycled behind you.
Wrench		Usable before rolling: fully repairs the car back to 6 dice, flips it upright if crashed, and recycles the wrench onto the track behind you.
Turbo Boost		Usable before rolling: your single highest die rolled this turn counts twice. Recycled onto the track behind you.
Bomb / Mine		Track hazard: if any car steps onto a mine during movement, roll 1D6. On 1–3, the mine explodes! The car immediately stops, crashes belly-up, and loses 1 die. On 4–6, safe!
Oil Spill		Track hazard: stopping on an oil spill causes the car to slide all the way to the next corner and crash (along with any cars already in that corner)!

Setup & Qualifying

• Starting Grid: Cars start in pit bays behind the finish line.
• Qualifying Round (Option 101, default: Disabled):
  • When disabled, standard table seating order determines grid position.
  • When enabled, drivers roll push-your-luck dice one by one before the race to lock in qualifying points. Rolling a duplicate busts (0 pts, rear of the grid). Highest score takes pole position (Bay 1).

Turn Sequence

Cars take turns in round-robin order. On your turn:

Crashed Car (Belly-Up)

If your car is crashed, you cannot drive:

• Click Flip Car Upright to right your car and end your turn without movement.
• Alternatively, if holding a Wrench , use it to instantly flip the car upright, recover all 6 dice, and drive this turn.

Active Car Turn

Before rolling dice, you may use any collectible item held in your car's inventory:

• Rocket : Fire at the car straight ahead.
• Turbo Boost : Activate to double your highest roll.
• Wrench : Fully repair your car to 6 dice.
• Fix Car (Action button Fix Car (+1 Die)): If you have fewer than 6 dice and no wrench, you may skip driving this round to take a pit stop and restore all dice back to 6.

Driving (Push Your Luck)

Roll your available dice one at a time:

• Safe Roll: The die value is added to your Movement Points (MP). You may click Push Luck: Roll Again or click Drive X Spaces to end rolling and move.
• Duplicate on a Straight (Engine Stall): Rolling a number already rolled earlier this turn while currently on a straight section stalls your engine. Your turn ends immediately with 0 movement.
• Duplicate in a Corner (CRASH!): Rolling a duplicate number while currently navigating a corner cell causes a violent crash! Your car flips belly-up, permanently loses 1 die (down to a minimum of 1), and ends its turn with 0 movement.

Movement, Bumping & Track Features

• Movement: When you stop rolling, your car advances forward along the track spaces by your total MP.
• Item Pickup: Stopping on a straight space holding a collectible item (Rocket, Wrench, Turbo) automatically adds it to your car's inventory.
• Bumping on Straights: Stopping on a space occupied by other cars pushes those cars 1 space forward. If pushed into a corner, the bumped car (and any cars in that corner) crashes!
• Corner Collisions: Stopping in a corner space that already contains other cars causes all cars in that corner (including the incoming car) to crash!
• Circuit 1 (Shortcut & Loop): A one-way shortcut (from space 8 to 36) can be used once per race per car. The loop crossover lets cars cross over the same space.
• Circuit 2 (Triple Loop): Features three intersecting loop crossovers.
• Circuit 3 (Gate & Teleport): Stopping on a gate switch opens or closes the gate shortcut. Stopping on a teleport pad ('T') instantly teleports the car to the opposite teleport pad.

Winning the Race

• Laps: Each time a car crosses the finish line, its lap counter advances. The total laps required is chosen by table option (default: 1 Lap, or 2 / 3 laps).
• Checkered Flag: When a car completes all laps, it locks in its finishing position (P1, P2, P3...). The race concludes when at most 1 unfinished racer remains.
• Championship Scoring: Players receive Grand Prix championship points based on car finish rank:
  • 1st: 10 pts
  • 2nd: 8 pts
  • 3rd: 6 pts
  • 4th: 5 pts
  • 5th: 4 pts
  • 6th: 3 pts
  • 7th: 2 pts
  • 8th: 1 pt
• In Team GP, points for all cars on a team are combined.
• Tie-Breaker: The player whose single car had the highest individual finishing position wins.
