- There are four kind of cards.
- The first type are the mileage cards. All of them have animals on them.
- The second type are the hazard cards, they are red.
- The third type are remedy cards, they are blue.
- The fourth type are the ace cards. All of them have flowers on them.
-
- Before you can play a mileage card, you must have either "go", or
- "right of way" on the current status. (You could have "Speed Limit" too,
- but in that case, you can only play either 25 mile, or 50 miles)
-
- When a hazard card is played against you, you must counter it with
- an appropriate remedy card, follow by playing "go" to start "driving"
- again.
-
- Only one hazard card may be active at a time. You may not play a hazard
- unless the other side has "Go" or "Right of Way" on display.
-
- There are four ace cards. "Extra Tank of Gas" will provide protection
- against "out of gas". "Driving Ace" will protect you against
- "Accident". "Puncture Proof Tires" will protect you against "Flat Tire".
- "Right of Way" will protect you from either "Stop" or "Speed Limit".
-
- When you play a card by double clicking on it, the computer will
- check to see if you can legally play this card. If it's a legal
- card to play, the computer puts it in appropriate place. If it's
- not a legal card, the computer will put it on the discard pile.
