Runner up – NL

Runner Up
is a racing game in which players vie to be second in order to win.

The game lasts five races, with each race lasting five turns. At the start
of each race, players receive a hand of five cards, with each card bearing a
value from -4 to +5. The players’ pawns start each race on 0 of the racing
track. Each turn, players choose a card from their hands and choose which
pawn to move with this card, then reveal them simultaneously and move the
selected pawns forward or backward based on the cards they played.

After five turns, the race ends and the player in second place on the
racing track wins, scoring a number of points equal to his position on the
race track. All other players score nothing. (If the winner is in the
negative portion of the racing track, he loses points instead.) After five
races, sum all of the points scored; the player with the second highest total
who has won at least one race wins.

This revised version of Why First? has new rules, including simultaneous
actions by players that cuts down the playing time from the original release.
