Rush Hour Shift

Players start by positioning the two Hero Cars and the 12 Blocking Vehicles on the traffic-grid game board using one of the 10 provided traffic-jam setups.

Turn by turn, each player draws a card that either lets him move his car or blocks vehicles a certain number spaces. Slide vehicles forward, shift one of the three movable sections of the traffic grid one way or the other to help clear his own traffic path or cause problems for his opponent.

The goal is to reach the opposite side of the traffic grid before your opponent. But to win, players need to strategize not only how to get their own car from one side of the grid to the other but also how to prevent their opponent from doing the same.

This 2-player game includes an easy-to-understand rulebook with graphic examples and strategies, and a mesh bag for making the game portable.
