Situational Awareness glossary

Every term the game uses, in one place.

Hubcap

A point. Everyone starts with five. Take them from other drivers with Hazards; the most at the end wins.

Lane

One of the three face-up stacks in the middle that every played card lands on. The road is the table's memory; the game picks the lane for you.

Hazard

An attack card. It takes 1 or 2 hubcaps, or splashes one to each neighbour, unless the target stops it.

Save

A defence. Play it the instant a Hazard of its colour hits you; it fizzles the whole accident.

Aftermarket

A card you install in front of you. Hazards of its colour can never hit you again. One per driver.

Road Condition

A full card that sits in the middle and changes the rules for everyone until the next one replaces it.

Police Escort

An instant played out of turn that ends another driver's turn.

Dashcam

An Insult to Injury: claim someone else's accident so the hubcap comes to you.

Pile-Up

An Insult to Injury: pile a second, orange hit onto an accident.

Pit Stop

Skip attacking to discard, draw back to five, and turn one fresh card from the pile onto the road.

Kicking rocks

The state of a driver with zero hubcaps; their Hazards become rocks until they hold a hubcap again.

The pile

The face-down draw pile in the middle. It is the clock: when it runs out, the trip is over.

Splash

A Hazard that takes one hubcap from the driver to the target's left and one from the driver to their right.
