Hallo Powerboat-racers,
There will be an expansion for Powerboats this year (in Essen). Maybe you can help with it:
The expansion set consists of 7 small tiles, each 3 lake-hexagons long. (Compare to the start/finish tile, which is 4 hexagons long.)
Each of these 7 tiles change the situation in the lake at their 3 hexagonal lake spaces.
After building a course you place these 7 tiles, in the same manor as the start/finish tile, at the marked spots which are not used for the buoys.
For example: In race A the buoys are at the 4 A-spots. Then you use the B- and C- spots for the extension tiles. That are 4xB + 4xC = 8 places, but you don't use the B or the C on the lake tile with the start/finish line.
Once placed you start the game normally, but when you cross a space with an expansion tile the tile shows what happens ...
... what happens? I already have good ideas for this, and it doesn't have to be 7 different tiles, but if one has a nice idea for 1 or more of these 3-hexes-tiles, please tell!
BTW: On mastermoves-eu the last Powerboats competition just ended (Grats to Marcel, his 3rd victory in last 4 'seasons'!). 95 players are subscribed for next competition round (starts 31-03-2009). Would be nice to see it grow to 100 players. :)
crashing greetings,
Corne
