‘Crazy Karts’ Races into Stores This June

May 16, 2016

Crazy Karts is a new racing title on the horizon from Polish game developer Portal. Up to eight players (four teams of two) compete to be the first to pilot their cart across the finish line and be crowned Tournament Champion. The twist? Each cart is controlled by two players and neither can communicate with each other during the race.

Set in a fantasy realm (populated by goblins, dwarves, elves and other mythical creatures) Crazy Karts is scheduled for a June release and is currently available at a preorder price of $45 through May 31st. You can take a peek at the rules here.

From Portal:

Crazy Karts is a team-based, fast-paced racing game for 3-8 players. Players pair off in teams of two in which each player controls specific actions of their kart. One player controls the brakes and turns, while the other player speeds up and fires the cannon. There’s only one problem… you cannot talk with your teammate!

You must outmaneuver the opponents, dodge obstacles, grab power-ups, and avoid smashing into the walls… planning all your actions in secret without talking! Need to turn left? Better hope your partner didn’t accelerate! Race to the finish line in this wacky game of mayhem and shenanigans. Do you have what it takes to be a champion kart racer?

A game consists of two parts: Qualifying and then the Race. The team who comes first and second in the Qualifying will earn a bonus for the Race itself. Only the victor of the Race earns the bragging rights of the Tournament Champion… until the next game, of course.
