This is the classic game of Checkers but it includes 3 enhanced gameplay options where kids can use special abilities attributed to various pieces associated with the Cars characters.

There are 4 ways to play:
Normal checkers - Plays with standard checker rules.
King Conflict - When a checker is "kinged", flip it over to reveal its special Cars skill.
Power Challenge - A head-to-head challenge where all the Cars characters are revealed and you must decide when to use their special skills.
Ultimate Race - You know which spaces your Cars characters are hidden on, but does your opponent?

Each side has 7 pieces with stickers of different Cars characters on them, normally hidden from view by a flip-up "hood ornament mover" mechanism, along with a number of plain checkers pieces without stickers. The Cars characters represented include:
Lightning McQueen (Turbo Jump power)
Sally (Caution Cone power)
Guido (Repair power)
Mater (Tow Rope power)
King (Speed power)
Doc (Drafting power)
Luigi (Fender Rub power)
