These tokens are quite thick and solid. They are not the usual cardboard tokens but feel good and solid in your hand. I have used poker chips as tokens but having specific types helps.
I like a good race game and this is one such. The problem is that there are so many fiddly rules to learn. In the beginning the virtually simultaneous play doesn't give you an opportunity to look around the board and learn from what the other players are doing. Once you learn the game it is fun but some players from our group have given up on it before getting to that point.
