Cheating is the whole point here, and it is delightfully easy. In Shortcut Race you run along a track collecting boards, then lay them down as a bridge to cut across gaps and leave your opponents behind.
It is a race of judgment as much as speed. Collect too few boards and your bridge falls short, while collecting loads takes time off the clock. The controls are as simple as they come, and runs are over in moments, which makes the game ideal for quick rounds. It plays in the browser on both computers and phones.
