Golem Run is a competitive racing, betting and race fixing game with a trick-taking mechanic designed for 3 to 5 players. The game is set in the dwarven society of Odrixia, the same world as Justice and Factory 42.
The game consists of multiple hands of tricks, and the goal is for the first Golem to reach the finish line. Although Golem Run has cooperative elements, it is primarily a fiercely competitive asymmetric game. Players join in the chaos
by placing bets on which hunk of Dwarven metal will win while influencing the race by winning tricks, as each player represents a crowd of people betting on their favorite Golem and driving them toward a beneficial outcome.
“Golem Run is a gem. It’s likely one of the lightest designs we’ll see from this team, but it retains a deftness of touch which has been a hallmark of their games.”
