Unlikely. Car Wars Sixth Edition does not use standard six-sided dice.

Thank you. I knew Car Wars Sixth Edition does not use standard six-sided dice. I was wondering if the CW6E Kickstarter would give a sign there would be enough interest in Car Wars in general to support dice not specific for CW6E.

If we were to create custom Car Wars dice for the classic game, it would be most likely as a part of the Pocket Box campaign:

Thanks again. I was thinking of a separate Kickstarter campaign after Car Wars Sixth Edition for the dice I mentioned. Trying to create Car Wars themed dice for the current campaign would be great but the timeline appears to be too short.

Perhaps a Car Wars Fourth Edition Dice Kickstarter in 2021 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Car Wars as a "blast of nostalgia?" :o)

Are the acrylic bases finalized or close?

Follow-up Question, what are the odds of us buying the bases separately, says stack or 5 or 10?

Yet another question, how about a couple for sale at FnordCon?

:)

Just asking

* We are still tweaking the designs at the factory.
* Extras will be available.
* No Car Wars Sixth Editon for sale at the con. Demos will be with playtest components and _not_ factory pieces.

Loving the artwork in today's Kickstarter email. Have fuel cell power plants gone the way of the dodo?
