Summary: “In a formula race not only about cars and pilots, lead a crew of brilliant mechanics who put the racing cars back on track insanely fast. Pit Crew is a frenetic board game that will require concentration and fast thinking. During each race you will be presented to a series of car components to fix. Each component is resolved with a different math operation: sum, subtraction, multiplication and open interval between numbers. Every player will resolve those operations simultaneously as they look for the answers on the tokens over the table. Be freaky fast to resolve your pitting car issues and win the race.”
