Speed Trap is a push-your-luck card game built for game night. Players race to collect cards and become the fastest, pushing their luck on every turn until someone hits 100 MPH or everyone else wipes out.
Moonlander Games is playtesting now with the prototype complete and artwork in progress. Contact us for Kickstarter launch news—more board game designs are in the works.
How to play
01
Draw cards
On your turn, reveal as many cards as you want, one at a time.
02
Claim or risk
Claim the revealed cards by ending your turn—or keep drawing and press your luck.
03
Speed trap
If you reveal a speed trap, you lose all revealed cards and must pay a fine of 3 cards from your hand. If you can't pay the fine, you're out. Goal: be the last player standing, or reach 100 MPH to win.
Ability cards

Discard an ability card from your hand to activate its effect.
Force Draw 2
Force any target player to immediately draw 2 cards.
