Experience the thrill of car racing in your own living room. Race around a famous speedway, vying with other cars (and players) to be the first across the finish line. Players use the cards dealt them to decide which cars to bid on. Playing cards moves the cars around the track, with the first car past the checkered flag taking home the biggest purse.

Easy to understand, Grand Prix is a great family game. Winner of "100 Best Games of 1996" by games magazine. players are dealt a hand of cards which have movement numbers for one or more of the cars. When a card is played, the cars are advanced the number of spaces indicated in order from top to bottom. However, if the track is blocked, then that movement is lost, so the idea is to use the cards that help your opponents (which you'll likely have to play eventually) only when they won't be able to take advantage of the movement. For 2-6 players. Takes about an hour to play. Tons of replay value.

Mayfair Games was a game publisher founded in 1981 by Darwin Bromley in Chicago. They started with the railroad game Empire Builder and soon expanded to role-playing game supplements. In 1993, they faced a lawsuit from TSR, Inc. over trademark issues but continued publishing until TSR bought the rights.


In 1996, Mayfair brought The Settlers of Catan to the US market. Financial troubles in 1997 led to a bailout by Iron Crown Enterprises, which restarted Mayfair under a new name. Pete Fenlon became CEO in 2007, focusing on Catan products, which sold over 750,000 units by 2013. In 2016, Mayfair transferred Catan rights to Catan Studio under the Asmodee Group, with Fenlon moving to the new company. Larry Roznai, who joined in 1999, was the last CEO. Mayfair Games sold its assets to Asmodée Éditions North America and shut down on February 9, 2018.
