The core set is a larger box with both of the two-player sets. Essentially, you get the miniatures and cards and dashboards for each and a rules pack with the tokens and turning keys and vehicle sheets.

The $10 discount plus the large solid box make the core set a good deal if you want 4 cars on the board at a time or want to run a pair of games (the latter is a lot faster per game).

Car Wars Core Set'

The miniatures sets have miniatures, bases, and the cards for that set enabling 4 players to mount that gear (each card is in 4 colors and you may use more than one of non-exclusive cards if you want).

The Core set combines each of the two-player sets, giving you a dozen (12) cars and 4 dashboards and cards to have 4 people play. 2-player sets are the complete game, just for two players and with a set of 6 cars. Essentially, if you buy the core set, you get a bigger box with both the two-player boxes tucked in it.

Some of the cards from the miniatures sets are mentioned on the Vehicle Record Sheets, which are premade cars at two point levels to get you started playing.
