The idea is simple and great and immediately understood after watching the trailer. As a driver you are totally dependent on your builder partner to build something that is drive-able and if something dangerous will turn up to communicate this quickly and clearly. The game has fleshed out this idea with some smart choices. The tiles for the builder drop in at random and the builder has to turn and place them in the correct fashion and make the best track he can do. Some tiles are special and deliberately have coop in mind: i.e. the water sprout tile will spray a fine mist so that the driver cannot really see what the tile afterward is, so the builder has to keep in mind that he has to communicate if there is a turn looming after the water sprout tile. The chaotic nature is really fun and this is a nice game to play in short bursts. Dying will immediately motivate to try it again but better and switching roles is fun since it makes you see everything from the other perspective and you can see both challenges. Both roles are fun and motivating.

They came up with two fun modes for 2 online players: yardage – get as far as you can and game of drones – the driver has to collect an increasing number of items while drones are shooting at him and the builder has to build a track to all items to advance to next stage.

It really is a fun romp for 2 players and takes a lot of concentration and – at the right times – communication.

We have yet to try any of the other multiplayer options.
