What about road games?

Every game has to have a "core" to start.

For many of us, we're remembering Car Wars as a game that had years of development and expansion. It's not really fair to judge the restart against that cloth.

Good points, I tend to remember Car Wars as starting as a road game, and growing the tournament* idea from back ground set up, into a major focus. Limiting the focus makes sense, particularly given how the Tourney guys have largely kept the game in the public eye.


*Yes it was there from the start, but largely as a way to make cash, not as the sole focus. Hopefully this game takes off and we get years of new material.

Definitely not. We learned our lesson; shirts cause a lot of troubles.

Questions about this new version.

Will a version of the rules be available for us to see when the kickstarter starts?
If i am gonna sink a few hundred it would be great to read basic rules first.

How much space do I need on my table minimum? (or what would you recommend for a a 4 play game? 4ft by 4 ft? , 3ft x 3ft ?)

Thanks in advance.
