"HELP! I need some Formula De...." Topic

I was kinda hoping fer some information on where I can get Formula DSe tracks, extra dice, as well as some new car sheets.

I got turned on this game a few weeks ago, and I cannot seem to find any of they porducts! Except on ebay, but some of those prices are going for over $110!

I am really in need of extra dice, sheets, and tracks. Its a great game, but hard to get anything for it.

Please help!

Take a look at boardgamegeek page for this game:
boardgamegeek.com/game/173

Near the bottom are some PDF printouts for use. That may help your play sheet problem. Dice is a tricky one, as the type is now quite common (4,6 8, 10, 12, 20 and 30 sided), but the numbering is unique to the game. You may fine 2-sided dice, but good luck with the 11-20 and others. You could consider finding colors to match, which is fairly easy, in equivalent sided matches and marking your own numbers. (not very elegant)

I see your pain about extra boards, as some are listed there on the bgg page for Formula De. Wow! Makes me glad I have several tucked away. I think I have about 10 or so.

Best of luck, and watch that down-shift!

Very much a classic collectors game now, so tends to be expensive. Great game though, I picked up a bunch of extra tracks from POP Enterprises way back when (POP is just a distant memeroy now, following Fraser's untimely death).

The tip on the car record cards is to laminate them and use chinagraph pencils so you can wipe clean and reuse.

Good luck on your search. Formula de is very popular at our club, often used as a backup game when other things fall through. Sometimes gets a bit of a following going and when end up doing it as first choice, for several weeks running, before someone insists we get back to figure gaming!

Sigh, "memory" obviously.

Early yet, need more coffee…

There are rumours that it is being reprinted this year. I picked this game up last year, but am currently frantically searching for other tracks.

It is being reprinted by Asmodee later this year

Best bet is to search ebay for (Formula De and choose worldwide seacrh)

I managed to track down all of the old tracks, it took about 6 weeks, most came via ebay (Germany,France and Italy) as they are a lot cheaper.

Some of the tracks are very hard to find (Zuhai being one) so expect to pay a bit extra for those.

Hope this helps

There used to be a website somewhere that converted the movement rates to using just a d20. They also had some tracks and house rules you could download. I dont have the link anymore but if you google around it may still be up somewhere.

Some good info on the yahoo site and BGG. This is also an online/desk top version that is fun to play. You can find links on the yahoo group.

If anyone is interested in the game, I'd sell mine, but no extra tracks. We've found it a bit slow, though I'm never sure why. I figure if everyone knows what gear they're going to be in, it shouldn't take long, but it does.

I'd probably be willing to sell my copy also. I've got a couple of extra tracks also, although I'm not sure which ones. You can reach me at:

I seem to remember Dragon's Lair in Austin, dlair.net
and the Game Chest in Dallas link having a fair stock of the game. You might want to drop them a line.

The game itself is still available from existing stock. I have at least one in stock.

It's the extra tracks that are all gone.

and Waco Joe, I call all 3 numbers, and they dont have anything….

I have the game and 4 or 5 tracks still sealed. Not interested in them at all. Perhaps we can make a trade…
