Tabletop

Choose cards, then press Go. Plan each move with slot cars on a tabletop circuit.

Real-Time Racing

Cars keep moving while you play cards. Manage your pace without steering.

Single Race or Career

Both racing styles are available from the start. Enter one race or a full career season. Completing a career unlocks alternative camera views while retaining your chosen rules.

Thirty circuits, championships and career progression are included. Both racing styles are available immediately. Story remains in development.

Latest build · dev37

Shared Fantasy standings and real-result scoring, Google or email-code sign-in, the matching career deck workbench, corrected settings labels and tabletop camera, fuel retirement fixes, and a separate hex-track creator for testing. Earlier Fantasy races count retrospectively without boosts; future weekends use normal deadline and boost rules.

Extract the ZIP and run RogueRacing.exe. Existing saves are retained. Trusted creators can export a hex track file to share for review; existing circuits are unchanged.

How to play

  1. Download and extract the entire ZIP.
  2. Open RogueRacing.exe; keep the adjacent .pck file with it.
  3. Choose Tabletop and a Single Race on Basics Circuit. The game explains the controls.
  4. Use Playtest Feedback in the main menu, or submit feedback after a race.

This unsigned early build may show a Windows publisher warning. It needs OpenGL 3.3-compatible graphics.

Early build, honest expectations

Single-player against programmed opponents. Graphics, pacing, balance and the racing presentation are still being developed. No multiplayer racing, purchases, or learning AI. Fantasy teams compete through shared online standings. Development uses AI assistance and licensed art assets.

Feedback privacy

Playing does not require an account. On submission we receive your ratings, notes, build, series, track and completion information. An optional gameplay log includes card choices and race events. Please do not include personal information in notes. Feedback is stored privately for development; it is not published on this site. Network metadata may be processed by our hosting provider for delivery and abuse prevention. In-game opponents do not train on these reports.
