So, I’m playing a game with my boy, which he invented all by himself. It’s called “Car Chase’.
4:00 So, we start. We each have a Star Wars figure. A LEGO figure and a hot wheels car. We’re using the dice from the Star Wars figures.
4:01 There is also a large bucket of various pieces.
4:02 So, I go first. I roll two dice and get to move my car. But the star I rolled also means the dinosaur moves. I have to roll another time to see if Obi-Wan Kenobi protects my car…… Whew made it.
4:03 The boy rolls and gets to draw two things from the bucket of many things.
4:06 I rolled doubles. That means I get to control the dinosaur this round.
4:08 The boy rolls “speakers” and his car transforms and defeats the Clone Trooper.
4:09 I roll and then move the dinosaur. I trade atoken for my car back.
4:10. The boy rolls “speed” and outruns my dinosaur. He also takes Obi-Wan and uses the light saber to kill the dinosaur.
4:11 I roll and get to replace my card with another card. I draw Han Solo. But the boy uses his controller to move my car backwards.
4:12 The boy moves my car to the lightsaber. He rolls “speed” again and catches my car… at the light saber. He also has to discard and draw a card.
4:13 I roll… my car transforms… and I get the black LEGO token.
4:14 He rolls “speed” again. Sigh. He’s kicking my ass at this game.
4:15 If your car gets to the lightsaber, you have to declare something and switch between the players. I declare LEGO figure and get the LEGO clone trooper in exchange for my LEGO firefighter. I think I got the best of that deal, since the boy took a yellow token for my black token… I’m not sure what the yellow token does. My opponent seems loathe to tell me.
4:17 I roll ‘double speed’. But I get C-3PO and a the yellow token back? I thought doubles was the dinosaur.
4:19 I use my black token to counter the controller.
4:21 I get the controller (somehow) and I move his car close to the dinosaur.
4:21 Crud, he rolled and now moves the dino away from his car and is now chewing on my LEGO clone trooper.
4:22 I draw a Battle Droid card, but I also get to move my car ahead. Hmmm… I think that the rules are pretty fluid.
4:23 Apparently, the cars can mount the guns as well as the figures. My car just got hit by a Clone Trooper grenade launcher. ANd the boy crosses the finish line.
Well played, young man. Well played.
