Hi John, thanks for the reply!
I am quite new to kickstarters, but when I saw this one it seemed such excellent value for money, so useful for only a small amount of a pledge that I had to go for it.
At the time I hadn't even thought of a game for them, but now I have them I think the best thing is to put them together quickly and paint them up, worry about the gaming uses afterwards.
Having said that, my friend has.been wants to do a race game and has already offered to write some rules for us.
Although they look simple to assemble, a big pile of grey resin parts is offputting for me; I get the same aversion to model kits too. So I have to overcome that first and spend a whole day, force myself to make them up. When I get to the painting stage I will start to enjoy!
