Event 6-3: Giant Le Mans Racing Game
Saturday, March 20 1 PM Game Master: Mike Carr Game System: Modified Avalon Hill Le Mans Racing Board Game
Description: Mike Carr is bringing a unique classic to Gary Con this year -- a customized large scale version of the 1961 Avalon Hill racing game, "Le Mans." Using model cars purchased in France, Mike debuted this game in 1976 at GenCon IX, where it was an instant hit and became a popular GenCon event for many years. This is your chance to jump into the driver's seat and test your skill and endurance on the giant size Le Mans racetrack, which measures 8 by 14 feet. Drivers will don race jerseys, keep track of their car's status on their own clipboard and monitor race positions on the huge, custom scoreboard. There is space for up to 24 players and depending upon the number participating, the event can be run in either a single driver or team driver format. All skill levels are welcome at this event; all rules will be taught. Giant Le Mans is a double time slot event, which means more than 4 hours of exciting action for all players!
