A quick pen and paper game: vector racing.

The following is a simple pen and paper game, that I spent countless hours playing at school.
It only requires a couple colored pens (but even a single one would do) and small grid paper.
I mostly played it 1 vs 1, but there is no theoretical limit to the number of players that can join the fun.



The whole game is about racing your way around a drawn track, that can be as simple or complicated as you wish. The game is based on a simple and elegant movement system that simulates acceleration and inertia, and will force you to find the right balance between going fast and still being able to take sharp turns.

It's low supplies count make it a perfect game to waste time at school, or play during boring moments when travelling.
