Race fans understand the thrill of a high-speed straight, a daring overtake, or shutting the door on a pass. But what if you could experience that same adrenaline at your table, not just on screen? That’s what F1 board games aim to do, and Lacorsa Grand Prix does it better than most.
At first glance, it may look like a simple race—cars lined up on the track. But that’s not what keeps players coming back. It’s the tactics, timing, and the push to the front while managing your machine and position. This isn’t just about winning laps. It’s about playing smart. And Lacorsa delivers that in a way no other board game does.
More Than Movement – It’s Strategy
Lacorsa isn’t a game you win just by rolling high. It’s about the decisions you make each turn. Think of it more like chess than checkers. Each car feels like a pawn or a knight, with each move setting up the next few.
You might get an early lead, but that doesn't mean you’ll stay there. The pack chases you down. Drivers bide their time to pass. Mistakes open doors. That’s where strategy comes into play. Should you make your move now? Wait until the last lap? Burn your best card now or save it for the final overtake?
And you won’t be making these moves alone. The other players are watching. Planning. Waiting. Trying to outthink you.
You’ll never feel like you’re just moving pieces. You’ll feel like you’re in a race.
Built from a Love for Racing
Lacorsa isn’t just a mass-market game made with generic parts. It’s a project born from a genuine love of racing. Created by Mark Haskins, it developed over more than ten years of effort. Mark has a degree in Transportation Design from the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. His passion for classic Grand Prix style is evident in every detail.
From the checkered pattern on the game board to the color schemes of each car, everything references real racing. Red for Ferrari. Green for British teams. White for the old Mercedes and later, Honda. Even the racing lines feel authentic.
The entire experience is built around the feel of classic racing—tight corners, daring moves, and stylish machines.
The game was funded on Kickstarter in 2016. That early support shows how much players wanted something different.
A Game That Feels Alive
What makes Lacorsa truly stand out is how each race unfolds uniquely.
Every game is a battle. You’re not just rolling to see who wins. You’re reading the board, watching the pack, taking risks when it feels right, and pulling back when it’s too tight.
One moment you’re gaining ground; the next, you're boxed in.
Then there’s the player dynamic. You’re constantly interacting—blocking, passing, reacting—and you don’t want to get left behind. Even if you’re not in the lead, you’re still racing, still pushing for position, and still messing with the leaders.
This keeps things fun. No one zones out. No one feels useless. Every turn has something to play for.
Design That Honors the Sport
We took the design as seriously as the gameplay. The board is more than just a playing surface; it’s part of the theme. Mark chose the wooden checkered board look—clean, simple, yet full of tension.
The build had to fit into a travel-sized box, so we used a clever elastic mechanism. It folds tightly, snaps flat, looks great, and works perfectly.
Even the car shapes were designed based on classic Grand Prix forms—geometric shapes with just the right curves, drawn from historic motorsport.
And yes, we even matched the car colors to actual F1 teams from the past, paying tribute to an era of real racers and bold designs.
Real Racing, Real Tension
We’re proud of how accurately Lacorsa captures the intensity of racing. The excitement doesn’t come from luck; it comes from careful planning and quick adaptation.
Every decision carries weight. Push too hard, and you risk losing positions later. Play it too safe, and you’ll fall behind. As you approach the front, doubt begins to creep in.
● “Do I have enough power?"
● "Can I stay ahead?"
● "Did I make the right move?"
These questions don’t just pop up once or twice. They come up every few turns. That’s where the thrill is. That constant pressure—the need to react.
As the cars close in on the leader and the laps tick down, the pace speeds up. Everyone starts pushing harder. The backmarkers fight for a chance to break free. The leaders try to hold their position. And somewhere in the mix, someone makes a move they can’t take back.
It’s electrifying. And it all happens right at your table.
Why Lacorsa Stands Apart
There are many racing games out there, but most fall into one of two categories: either too simple, relying only on luck and turns, or so weighed down with rules that the fun fades away.
We didn’t want either approach.
Instead, we found a middle ground with tight mechanics, genuine tension, and just the right amount of luck—enough to bring surprises without ruining the game.
This balance is what makes our F1 game feel so fresh, so well-balanced, and so replayable.
Players who love speed will get the thrill. Players who enjoy planning will find depth. And players who appreciate style will see a board that looks as good as it plays.
