Very unique idea.
It's a very weird and funny idea. I like the betting theme, but at the end you just needed to see who was the guy with less stuff in their way and he will always win. I would have like a little more surprise and luck. The card thingys were a nice adition, but I couldn't understand them very well.
But nice job nonetheless, you made me laugh with the introduction.
Took a race or two to fully understand but I enjoyed myself once I got the hang of it. Definitely a unique take on the theme :)
Cute game. I enjoyed just betting and watching the race, but the cards made it even more enjoyable and kept my attention longer. Good mechanic. The general 15th century theme was also funny and enjoyable. Only critique is that it has no discernible relation to the theme of running out of power.
I liked the silly dialogue, that and the images/music gave it a lot of character. Toward the beginning my main strategy was to go with the person with the least obstacles in their path, and that worked pretty well for the most part. I wish there were more different card types that played with the different character traits, and the randomly picking cards got pretty frustrating, although it opened up more strategies (at one point I picked a person with a lot of obstacles and low motivation because I had a lot of cards that doubled the speed of the slowest contestant). Overall, it was really fun and unique concept!
Neat betting game! I like the cards mechanic, I was a little worried that it would just be betting and waiting.
