+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Setup\par}
+
+    To begin the game separate out the upgrade cards from the rest of the cards. You
+    should be left with the starter cards (grey border), the special cards
+    (lots of text, no image), and the stretch cards (have a distance at the
+    bottom).
+
+    Separate the starter cards into 4 equal decks (with the exact same cards in
+    them). For reference, each player should begin with the cards listed on the
+    list card in their deck.
+
+    Setup the rest of the game by giving each player a starting deck, a red die,
+    a blue die, and a token. Their token should be placed before the starting
+    line on the map.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Objective\par}
+
+    This is a race. Just like the real iditarod your goal is to be the first to
+    travel 1600km (160 myriameters). Each square on the board is a single
+    myriameter, so there are 160 of them.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Costs\par}
+
+    The core mechanic of this game is the way in which costs on cards are
+    played.
+
+    When a card is played the three costs are resolved in order.
+
+    First, the player must discard the "energy" cost (blue number) of the card
+    from their hand.
+
+    Second, the player must discard the "health" cost (red number) of the card
+    from the top of their deck. If the player fails to pay either cost, the card
+    does nothing.
+
+    Finally the player must resolve the "risk" of the card.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{16}{16}\Racing Risk\par}
+
+    Whatever the risk (black number) of a card is, that many cards must be
+    played on the subsequent turns successfully. Only once all such cards are
+    played does the effect of the original card take place.
+
+    If another risk occurs as payment for a risk they do stack, but once the
+    risk of the second card is paid its effect happens even if the original risk
+    card's effect has not.
+
+    If at any point you cannot afford the cards being played as risk, the risk
+    card fizzles and does nothing.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing New Days\par}
+
+    On any turn a player may choose to take a new day instead of playing a card.
+    In this case any current risks are abandoned and the player shuffles their
+    discard pile and hand into their deck. They then draw a new starting hand.
+
+    The starting hand is, by default, 6 cards. This number is frequently
+    modified however.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Destruction\par}
+
+    There is an important distinction between discarding and destroying a card.
+    When a card is discarded it is merely added to its player's discard pile and
+    will return to their deck when they take a new day. A card which is
+    destroyed is removed from play and will not be used in the current game ever
+    again.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Stretch Effects\par}
+
+    Each stretch has a unique effect when you enter it. Like other cards,
+    stretches may have red and blue numbers on them. These set your starvation
+    and hypothermia respectively.
+
+    Starvation increases the health (red) cost of every card by 1 for each
+    starvation you have. This does not apply to cards with no health cost to
+    begin with. Keep track of starvation on your sled card using the red die.
+
+    Hypothermia increases the energy (blue) cost of every card by 1 for each
+    hypothermia you have. This does not apply to cards with no energy cost to
+    begin with. Keep track of hypothermia on your sled card using the blue die.
+
+    If either your starvation or hypothermia reaches a level of 6 you have died.
+    Move back 30 myriameters and set your starvation and hypothermia to that of
+    your current track. If you move beyond the town you will have 0 starvation
+    and hypothermia.
+
+    All stretch effects take precedent over other effects. This means that they
+    occur first.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Special Effects\par}
+
+    Recover allows you to move the specified number of cards from your discard
+    pile into either your hand or your deck. The choice is yours.
+
+    When you pass a player on the board you take 1 damage and they are moved
+    back 1 square. This process occurs iteratively, so there can never be two
+    players on the same space of the board (except before the starting line).
+    The direction of movement does not matter, if you become further ahead of
+    someone you take a damage and they move back one, even if they were moving
+    backwards.
+
+{\noindent\fontsize{18}{18}\Racing Card Types\par}
+
+    The following is a summary of how each card type works:
+
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item Dog cards are brown. When you play a dog it stays in front of you
+            and provides a passive bonus. You may only have 6 dogs at a time,
+            but may kill a dog whenever you wish. A killed dog is destroyed (not
+            discarded).
+
+        \item Attachment cards are blue. You must play an attachment on a dog
+            and dogs may only hold one attachment each. You may not remove an
+            attachment once played. Like dogs, attachments provide passive
+            bonuses. When the dog an attachment is on is killed, that attachment
+            is discarded.
+
+        \item Food cards are yellow. As soon as you play a food card your
+            starvation is reduced by 1. This happens before payment and whether
+            or not payment succeeds.
+
+        \item Personal cards are purple. As soon as you play a personal card
+            your hypothermia is reduced by 1. This happens before payment and
+            whether or not payment succeeds. Personal cards typically have the
+            text "Destroy up to X of Y" on them. This means that you look at the
+            top Y cards of your deck, choose up to X of them to destroy, then
+            choose which of the remaining cards to shuffle back into your deck
+            and which to draw into your hand. Using a personal card is referred
+            to as "healing".
+
+        \item Sled cards are green. They typically have the text "Take X of Y"
+            on them. This means that you look at the top Y cards of the upgrade
+            deck, choose X of them to place in your discard pile, and destroy
+            the rest. As they are immediately discarded all other players may
+            see what they are. Additionally you may not use them until the next
+            day (unless you recover them).
+
+        \item Utility cards are white. They tend to be interactive. They have no
+            effect whatsoever when you are immune. This means that they do
+            nothing if you play them, and do not effect you if someone else
+            plays them. Remove the utility cards from the game when playing
+            solitaire.
+
+        \item Movement cards are blue. When you play a movement card add your
+            current speed to its effect.
+    \end{itemize}
