Choose the ONE option that best describes your preferred Car Wars 6e.

A straight reprint of the previous Deluxe Edition/Car Wars Compendium 2.5. Same rules, same art, same pretty much everything.
(Comment: This would be the fastest to produce.)

A boxed set with the Deluxe Edition and Compendium 2.5. Rules unchanged. New graphic design, new art, and we might even die-cut the counters.
(Comment: Second fastest.)

Start with 2.5, but turn it into a smaller, faster game. Strip it down to cars and cycles. 1990 "Car Wars Classic" approach. New graphic design and art, of course.
(Comment: Now we are in redesign / replaytest territory, but we are starting with known rules and reducing them, so: third fastest. Likely a 2014 release.)

Start with 2.5, but turn it into a MUCH smaller, faster game. Strip it down to cars and cycles. 20xx “Car Wars 5th Edition” approach, but scale would be open to discussion. New graphic design and art, of course.
(More rules changes than #3, so fourth fastest.)

A complete redesign. Similar complexity to 2.5, but aim for faster play. Again, new graphic design and art.
(Fifth fastest. Now we are in “probably not in 2014” territory.)

Start with 2.5. Add MORE detail and complexity. Again, new graphic design and art.
(Potentially huge amounts of time, depending on what kind of complexity.)
40 votes. 4.44%

A complete redesign. Much less complexity than 2.5, aiming for significantly faster play.
(Who knows? If every single thing about the game might potentially be changed, it’ll take months of surveys just to decide what to do.)
