Rules

AIM OF THE GAME Lamborghini, the official race game, is a Lamborghini Murciélago R-GT car race on track. Players must demonstrate to be a skilled Lamborghini team manager in facing the championship, providing with the proper technology and assuring the car set-up, employing the best driver and most of all acquiring the best Murciélago car. Players must also demonstrate their ability in running the race moving their car by the cards, facing the opponents on the tracks, driving at their best, making overtakes, using slipstreaming and possibly causing accidents. You can find two versions of the game: a Short game for the young and a Long game with a strategic and economic management for the grown up. In the Short game, the aim of the game is to be the first to cross the finishing line. In the Long game, the player with the most amount of money at the end of the championship is declared the winner.   HOW TO PLAY Players choose to play a Short game (one single race without the money) or a Long game (several races with an Economic phase included).  Players: 1. Place the board on the table and choose which track to play. 2. Separately shuffle the Car cards and the Driver cards and place them face down in two different decks on the board. Each card indicates the cars' characteristics and the drivers' abilities. 3. Separately shuffle the Manoeuvre cards and the Technology cards and place them face down in two different decks on the board. 4. Choose to play with one Murciélago each (3, 4 or 5 players) or two Murciélago each (2 players). Each Murciélago will have one driver, but any Technology and Manoeuvre cards. 5. Give 60.000$ (from 2 up 4 players) or 52.000$ (with 5 players) to each player if you are playing a Long game. No money is needed if you play a Short game. The game is played on 3 turns: 1.  Strategic - Economic 2.  Set-up and Qualification 3.  The race   1. During the Strategic - Economic phase, players choose their car, the corresponding driver and the Technology and Manoeuvre cards.  2. Set-up: at the end of the strategic - economic phase, players receive further Technology and Manoeuvre cards. Actually each Car card and Driver card indicates additional characteristics and abilities. Players must receive for the couple car/driver all the Tech/Manoeuvre cards represented on their Car and Driver card. Qualification: the starting grid is determined by a drawn card from the Speed deck's value and the speed values printed on their Driver and Car cards. 3. The Murciélago cars move along the tracks' squares. The number of movements is given by the cards' values. The Murciélago:       - move ahead or diagonally (through squares in touch), never sideways.       - can never go through or stop on occupied squares.  During their turn, players draw a Speed card from the deck (values from 5 to 12). Players add their own Car card's speed value and their Driver card's speed value. To this value, they can also add 1 Manoeuvre or 1 Technology cards' value. Players can choose to play maximum one card each turn among their Tech and Manoeuvres cards. EVENTS Slipstreaming: a Murciélago that reaches, with its movement, the square exactly behind another car, will immediately enjoy the benefit of one free movement. Manoeuvres: a driver must check if his manoeuvre is successful or not in the following cases:       - Crazy Murciélago: the speed values are too high       - Crashes: a Murciélago placed behind an opponent's car can crash.       - Pushes: Murciélago placed beside an opponent's car can push. END OF THE GAME Short game The winner is the player whose car won the race. Long game At the end of the race, players whose car crossed the finishing line receive a cash prize. The prize is according to the placing of their car. For the following races, the same rules are applied. However, some changes must be applied during the preparation of the race. At the end of the championship, players count their money. The player with the most amount of money is the winner.
