Gameplay
Big Win Racing is a racing simulation and card collection game where players will have to manage their team of drivers and pit crew as well as the parts of their vehicles in order to win or at least place in various races available throughout the game. Players have no control over the race itself, but they can affect outcomes by setting up their team and using Big Impact cards that serve as boosts on a per race basis.
Players can watch each race as it unfolds or they can skip directly to the results. Post race results will give you insights on which areas to improve and additional cards may be purchased using currency earned during each race. Events and different championships can be raced on, which would further increase your rankings among global leaderboards as well as among Facebook friends should you choose to link the game with your account.
Currency
Coins and Big Bucks are the game’s two currencies. Both of these currencies are used to purchase new card packs, although packs bought using Big Bucks will yield much better cards than the basic currency. Additionally, Big Bucks can be used to refill your energy and will allow sometimes allow players to repeat races should you finish not as well as you would like.
Big Bucks can be earned each time players level up, and can also be exchanged for coins. Coins can be won during races depending on how well you have performed. Coins can also be exchanged for Big Bucks, while additional Big Bucks can be purchased using real money. Lastly, both coins and Big Bucks can be won by placing in championships and special events as well as by completing offers within the game, so make it a point to perform well during races and participate in these deals in order to earn even more currencies that you can use to bolster your team.
Leveling Up
As players participate in races, players will earn fans which are the game’s version of experience points. Once enough has been earned, players will level up. Leveling up will earn players Big bucks and currencies. Thus, the more you play and the better you place, the faster your will be able to earn fans and level up.
Energy
Like most freemium games, Big Win Racing requires energy in order for players to be able to race. Energy regenerates over time, but players would also be able to refill instantly using Big Bucks. Make sure that you use up all of your energy before quitting the game for a prolonged period of time so that the game will have ample to time to refill the energy meter, allowing you to participate in more races.
Cards
Several types of cards may be acquired via purchases using coins or Big Bucks, while special ones may also be earned by participating in special events. These include driver cards, pit crew cards, parts cards, skill cards, sponsor cards, Big Impact cards, and renewal cards.
Driver cards symbolize your main driver while pit crews include people that will participate in refueling your car and changing your tires during the race. Part cards, on the other hand, are components that make up your vehicle, and combining parts from the same manufacturer will also provide you with stat boosts.
All of the above mentioned cards have different attributes and stats, and these can be increased by using Skill Cards. When editing your team, should you have Skill cards that can be applied to any specific member of your team or part, then the said person or part will be indicated by an exclamation point. After applying the skill card, this will be gone from your inventory. There are also special cards that will add an additional slot to a member or part so that it can be upgraded as well, further increasing your team’s rank.
Like skill cards, Big Impact cards are consumable. Up to three can be equipped during each race, although players can also choose to use none. Big Impact cards will provide you with different advantages such as being immune from getting damaged or injured, having better control of your vehicle, and many more. This, combined with your driver’s skills as well as your choice of his behavior during the race, will increase your chances of placing during the race. Lastly, sponsor cards will have the ability to change the appearance of your car as well as the uniforms of your crew.
Over time, your driver, pit crew, and parts will have to have their contracts renewed, although they can still be used albeit with reduced performance. Contracts can be renewed by applying renewal cards which would return their stats to their original ratings. Keep in mind, though, that there is a limit for renewals, and players must either utilize special items so that they may be used optimally once more, or replace them with cards that still have contracts left in them.
Similarly, parts or drivers may get damaged or injured during a race. While they can still be used, their attributes would also be greatly reduced. In these situations, players must spend coins to repair or heal these cards so that they may perform well again.
Better cards that have been purchased or acquired may be swapped with your current load out. Excess cards may then be sold for additional currency so that you can buy better ones. Make sure that your team is always at its best by managing and upgrading them as you see fit, and to utilize Big Impact cards that can very well sway the race in your favor.
Races
Players can participate in various races and events where in the rewards that they will get will depend on how well they fare. There are quick races where players can challenge friends and strangers alike, as well as special events that are only available for a limited amount of time. Here, players are able to earn lots of Big Bucks and coins but the challenges will be much more difficult. Players are, as much as possible, joined with players of the same rank during races but sometimes this does not happen due to shortage of players currently online.
There are also championship series that players can participate in. By placing or finishing in first place, succeeding cups may be unlocked. All races will require players to have at least one energy in order to be able to participate.
Achievements
Aside from trying to win races, players can also try to complete achievements, of which there are several for each cup. Completing achievements such as winning first place a set number of times will also earn players Big Bucks, although this will only be available once. Once an achievement has been completed, players will not be able to earn the reward again.
