History of Future Race

Future Race was written by Jamie Davis in 1999 to be used as a rules system to tabletop game the excitement of Pod Racing from Star Wars: Episode 1 and other types of action packed racing styles.

The first game was a pod race oval track using Micro Machines™ Pod Racers and was run as a pick up game at the HMGS-East Historicon Convention '99 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Since then, there have been many courses and variations of the basic race including Ice Racing, Magic Carpet Races, and soon a Florida Everglades Airboat Race!
