Crazy Race is one of three Spiele aus Timbuktu games with a common train theme, along with Mogul and Station Manager. The boxes even fit together to make a common picture.

Players race three Creatures on a track from a start/finish line, up to a pole, and back. Players use bidding cards to bid for up to three movement actions per turn. The game has some amazing subtleties in both movement and bidding, so be prepared for a tense and enjoyable 30-minute game.
