Sonic Super Teams is a smashing little game

Played Sonic Super Tams today. It’s a race game. First team to get all their characters around the race track and over the finish line wins. There are 8 Sonic characters in the race which are represented by beautifully made little figures. At the start of the game each player gets six move cards and a team of two characters to get to the finish line as fast as they can. Move cards apply to one particular team, so you frequently find yourself having to move your opponents pieces. The trick is to send them onto the spikes to slow them down, or get them stuck in front of a loop, while you and your teammate head off towards the double speed rings. When you’ve used up all your move cards they are dealt out again. There are also chance cards to be had which add even more variation.

With four players you play as two teams of four, which adds more fun as you try to help your teammate. Games last around half an hour, which is just the right length for a game like this. A great game with some nice strategy.
