How did I create the game?

AMAZING RACE is the Taiwanese version of A LA BOUFFE ! (by SCORPION MASQUÉ), and SAN ROBERTO (HABA), by KANGA GAMES. Thank you Byron !

The idea came from those games you find in newspapers, in which you must find your way in a maze of threads. The innovation is to create a unique sequence of cards for each game !

My first prototype was set in the universe of the faeries, but HABA chose to turn it into a car race. I would thank them for the name of the french version : GRAND PRIX DE SAN ROBERTO. It’s a great honor to have a game titled after you.

A few years ago, I went to an Orthoptist, and each time I used one of his machines i though about that game. I eventually offered her a copy. A few weeks later, she sent me an email, telling me that she used the game , and even advised other doctors to use it for their sessions !

ME WANT COOKIES/SAN ROBERTO/AMAZING RACE is one of those games that can easily be adapted in giant versions. You just have to print 5 yellow cards (easy), 3 red cards (hard) on A3 sheets, and number them from 1 to 8.

Then put them randomly on walls of a big room, gather the players around the N°1 and let them run around to find the sequence that goes from card to card.

The first player to give you the color of the finish car wins. It’s giant !

As IELLO (The French distributor) has unfortunately stop it, the game is available in France.
