Route 66 Game

Fun online game for 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 people celebrating historic Route 66. To WIN the game, be the first to travel from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California. There are two versions of the game available: ADV: The Advanced version of the game pits player against player. Each player is dealt 4 cards. Players take turns playing one of their four cards. A new card replaces the card played (so that they always start a new turn with 4 cards). There are 4 types of Route 66 cards: Side Trip, Road Hazard, Move Ahead, and Fix-It. Side Trip and Road Hazard cards are played on another player. Move Ahead cards are played on yourself. Fix-It cards are used to immediately fix a Road Hazard. When a Road Hazard is played on a player, that player will either play a Fix-It card or they will roll the dice. Depending on their roll they will lose up to 3 turns. When a Side Trip is played on a player, they will lose their next 2 turns. When a player plays a Move Ahead card on themself, they will roll the dice to determine how many segments they will move ahead (a six roll will let them roll the dice again). As each Route 66 card is played, another automatically replaces it so that each player will always have 4 cards to choose from. The percentage breakdown of the different types of Route 66 cards are: Move Ahead (50%), Side Trips (20%), Road Hazards (20%), and Fix-It (10%). EASY: Players take turn rolling dice. A 1 or 2 will result in either a SIDE TRIP or a ROAD HAZARD. Side trips cause the player to lose that turn, so they make no further advancement in their race to Chicago. Road Hazards cause the player to lose two turns, so they make no further advancement in their race that turn, and they lose their next turn as well. A 3 or 4 roll will advance them 1 segment. A 5 or 6 roll will advance them 2 segments. A 6 roll will also result in them getting to roll the dice again. Visit https://Route66.northwestpages.com for details. Access game here.
