Default Car Wars Arenas

I checked e23 for a description of this product, but it was pretty vague. Can someone tell me what arenas are included in the box?

Thanks in advance.

It's a very good set. A little of everything.

I went ahead and ordered it from a game store (my FLNGS did not have it).

Many thanks.

I'll second that. "Figure 8" race tracks, dueling arenas, multi-level arenas, gimmick arenas (like the pier)...it's a real nice variety.

I would recommend investing in a sheet of plexiglass, or something of the sort to lay overtop of and flatten out the maps; being folded 4-ish times makes for some pretty meaty crease ridges.

Many thanks. I do seem to recall that the old maps in the zip locks were folded many times.

Yep. I usually folded them in the opposite direction to take the worst of the creases out. I used to put clear tape around the corners to protect the map and then tape the corners to the table (on the tape applied to the map, so the tape holding the map can be removed without causing damage).

My budget is a bit more plentiful these days though, and Plexiglass is definitely a good way to go.
