Racing is a very active, competitive game played with 2 or more players. Usually played outside with a start line and a finish line. Players compete to see who can get from start to finish first. Many variations exist, a few of them are skateboard racing, car racing (RC, go-cart, Automoblox), marble racing even turtle racing ;-)
The basic rules to racing are simple. All racers start at a starting line, someone says “ready, set, go” (or something to tell you when to start) and all racers move towards the finish line. The first racer to cross the finish line wins.
The start and finish lines of a race can be almost anything from a very official line drawn on the playing area to the edge of the grass, the line of a concrete sidewalk, a handy stick, or the edge of a building. It doesn't really matter, as long as all racers agree ahead of time.
You can easily vary your racing game by choosing other methods to get from start line to finish line, such as going backwards, weaving side to side, so on and so on.
