Now THIS piques my interest! 2 quick questions: will it support GC multiplayer, and is it based on a physical game?

Rocket Patrol uses GC turn based multiplayer to play.
We played a lot of an old game called "Touring" but it would have been too slow to play turn by turn over the Internet so we took inspiration from the idea of a race game with delay / play cards, added puzzles I remembered from my childhood like my Merlin toy and Mastermind and made those cards you could play too. In the end, the game can only be virtual, but the inspiration is definitely there from Touring.

Thank goodness! I was starting to believe I had invented that thing in my mind!
