Fantastic Races®, like crossword puzzles, chess, sex, (you know, fun stuff worth doing right), is definitely one of those things at which you become better with practice. We make accommodations for newbies, i.e. free hints throughout the game, and even free solutions, but the truth is teams have played the game at least once before probably have a slight advantage. However, we can’t stress enough: Fantastic Races are about the experience, not the order of finish.
