    "summary": "Player places a bet, picks one of 4 difficulty levels (which sets the total number of road lines/lanes to cross), then presses GO. The chicken mascot advances one lane at a time; each lane carries a fixed, ascending multiplier shown on an overhead digital scoreboard. After each successful step the player may CASH OUT (collect bet x current multiplier) or press GO again to attempt the next lane. If the chicken is 'hit by a car' on a lane, the round ends as a total loss and the accumulated multiplier/cash-out value is voided.",

Each round in 'My bet history' carries a green shield/checkmark icon described as verifiable fairness proof.",
    "theme_is_a_reskin_not_a_new_mechanic": "IMPORTANT: the racetrack/Formula-1 theme and the word 'Race' in the title are COSMETIC ONLY. The moving race cars seen on background/side lanes are NOT real-time obstacles the player dodges - they are decorative renderings tied to the 'Live wins' ticker in the top-left corner (each car appears alongside another player's masked username and their live win amount, e.g. 'xdft1459 +Rs6.20', 'mvp_437796339 +€2.60', 'ranaazam123 +Rs69.00'). There are no laps, no opponents to race against, and no timer anywhere in the rules or UI. The 'car hits the chicken' loss animation is the game's built-in bust/crash visual, reusing the racing skin - functionally identical to the 'chicken/car' collision loss in the rest of the family."

The camera only ever shows the current lane plus a few lanes ahead; reaching the final lane of any difficulty was not achieved without busting first (see hunt notes below). The only printed ceiling is the MONETARY cap, 'Max win: 20 000 USD' (rules_p1.png). Because the max win is a money figure independent of bet size, the EFFECTIVE multiplier ceiling varies with the chosen bet: at the observed min bet (0.12) it would be about 166 667x if ever reached; at max bet (200) it would be about 100x. This is a derived illustration of what the money cap implies, NOT an observed or printed multiplier ceiling, and it is not asserted as the actual top-of-ladder value."

    "color_blind": "Key state changes are consistently backed by non-color cues: cleared lanes gain an EXTRA OBJECT (tire stack) rather than only changing color; loss is shown by the mascot's broken/exploded POSE plus a dash '-' in CASHOUT plus 'x0' in bet history, not a color swap alone; win is confirmed by the literal word 'WIN!' plus a printed dollar figure; toggle switches in the menu use KNOB POSITION (left/right) in addition to track color. The only color-only signal noticed is the traffic-light 'red = ready' decoration at the top of the track, which does not carry an actionable instruction on its own (the GO button's availability, not the light color, gates play).",

It should be treated and catalogued as an independent build, not an alias/reskin-only duplicate of any one relative."
