2F-Spiele Goes Full Throttle!...Away from SPIEL '21

As much as we want to present our new games to you, we still decided to cancel our booth at this year's SPIEL in Essen.

For the avoidance of doubt: we support the hygiene and safety requirements of Merz-Verlag, including the mandatory mask-wearing. Without that, currently a show with physical presence would not be doable. Current reports of major events in Europe indeed indicate that perhaps stronger actions need to be taken.

As a small publisher just short of two persons, we need the help of our team that is well attuned for years to present 2F-Spiele as best as possible during the show. Without our 15-20 helpers, the transport of all materials to and from Essen, set-up and breakdown, and running the booth during the four days with all the crowds would not be possible.

Because of this year's situation, we kindly asked the team to ignore their highly esteemed helper instinct and instead to decide on their own whether they want to participate on-site at the show. The majority of the team voted for passing for another year.

If we try to run the booth with a small team, we cannot guarantee implementation of all necessary safety and hygiene requirements at and around our booth and thus cannot guarantee the health for all — visitors and our team. Under any circumstances we want to prevent that even a single person would get infected of corona when visiting our booth. Thus, we prefer to refrain from a physical presence on-site.

As this cancellation also means that as a company we are not allowed to participate at SPIEL.digital, we try our best to inform you about our new games at our website and via BoardGameGeek.

We really hope to meet you all again at SPIEL in 2022, and that we all come through this pandemic by getting vaccinations, recovering from possible infections, or preferably without getting infected at all.

We wish you a lot of fun playing any games!

The crazy moped riders are ready to race with their souped-up mopeds! Knowing that neither your courage nor your health insurance lets you take part in such a dangerous race, you and your friends instead choose the safe way to enjoy these races and start betting on the mopeds.

While the six mopeds race three times around the racetrack, trying to avoid getting stuck behind other mopeds or at the choke points, you assess the situation round by round and bet on your favorite mopeds. Who will finally win, place, or show?


In Full Throttle!, no one controls the mopeds, with them racing around the track in a "self-controlled" manner. Each round, reveal racing cards based on the number of players; each of the six mopeds has 14 cards in the deck numbered 1-3, and you move each moped following certain rules as the cards are revealed. After the 6-9 cards have been revealed, the start player for the round takes all of these cards and drafts one to serve as a hidden bet, with each other player drafting a card in turn. All unchosen cards are returned to the deck, which means that by placing a bet, you are hindering the possible movement of that moped in the future!

After three laps around the racetrack, the race ends after the first three mopeds cross the finish line. Bets for the first, second, and third mopeds are worth 4, 3, and 2 points, with all other bids being worthless, except in the event of a tie. Have you collected the best set of racing cards to win Full Throttle!?
