Description
Get ready to drive offensively in Car Wars, a game of high-speed combat on the freeways of the future. Players choose their vehicle, customizing it with weapons, armor, and other upgrades, and then take it out on the road to battle it out with other drivers. With the right combination of speed and firepower, you can come out on top and earn the title of "ace," or crash and burn in a blaze of glory. With rules of normal complexity, Car Wars is easy to learn for fans of board games, and games typically last around 45 minutes. Players can design their own customized cars, trucks, and cycles using advanced rules, and with support for 2 to 8 players, it's a great game for groups of friends or family. First published in 1981, Car Wars has become a classic of the genre, with a wide range of expansions and supplements available to add even more excitement to the game.
