Hello,
I have a question about the rule :
I was behind an opponent, same light grey place (this light grey has two places) and when my opponent moves, I move also and my car has taken his place during the race.
Is it a normal move ? (table 117143423)

Hi Alex - yes that is normal. It is part of the drafting mechanic.
I am an experienced player of this game and would like to help with the development. How can I do this?
Thanks
Mark

Hi! There is a group of us that have been getting online for a couple hours three times a week to play games while zooming at the same time. We do a lot of playtesting for physical games, but are still in cities with COVID lockdowns so have been doing all our gaming online. I’m a reviewer level, but they are still (rapidly) getting their playcount up high enough.
If possible, I’d love to have them in on the alpha testing of this so we could be playing it during our game nights. We’re always happy to provide notes about what we see.

Hopefully we can loop them in!

I have a list of non-Alpha reviewer players I'd love to test automobiles with
(is this the best way to do that? I've tried a few different ways before with other games and it always seems like a different way works best)

Hey there,
I'm the developer and I've only just seen this message (sorry - probably best to ask questions straight into the community, as I won't spot a forum post just because it has the same name!)
When you play with "Approximate Numbers of Cubes in Bag" it's broken into bands of 5. So:
Empty
1-5
6-10
11-15
This option is closest to the spirit of the original boardgame (where you can get a feel of how packed your bag is but can't be certain) but for turn-based play it can be harder to keep track of everything.
