i was actually looking at the rules myself, and i would like to make one suggestion. instead of trying to actually recreate Mario Cart we could simply do an X-Wing version of it. I was thinking that we could use existing X-Wing cards instead of custom ones. let me put it like this:
mushroom = Adrenaline Rush [single use]
gold mushroom = Push The Limit [keep for remainder of race]
superstar = Expertise [keep]
bananas = Proximity Mine
red shell = Adv. Homing Missiles
green shell = Proton Rockets
lightening = Ion Torpedo
ghost = Stealth Device [keep]
oh, and i can handle the tape. i think. i am actually considering doing it ahead of time on an artboard, so that way it is mobile and reusable. main thing is just getting the exact measurements for the track if possible.
