June Brings Two ‘Car Wars’ Releases; One Old and One New

May 18, 2015

This June sees the return of Car Wars: Classic from Steve Jackson Games. As SJG continues a new reworking of one of the best selling game systems of all time, autoduelers can look forward to this re-release. Also on the agenda is a new edition of the Car Wars: The Card Game which brings even faster action to your gaming table. The classic game carries an MSRP of $19.95 while the card game is $24.95.

From SJG:

Car Wars

Car Wars is the game of the freeways of the future, where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players build vehicles complete with weapons, armor, power plants, and more. Then they take them out on the desolate roads, or maybe the brightly lit arenas, to come home as “aces,” or to crash and burn. The winners earn fame and cash to upgrade their rides. The losers are left in the dust.

Playing time 30 minutes and up, for players 10 and older. Any number can play . . . games with 2 to 8 are best.

Game components include:

103 full-color die-cut game counters, storage bag, and Turning Key.
64-page rulebook, plus extra tables and record sheets.
2-sided game map, with autoduel arena and raceway.
Four 6-sided dice.

Car Wars: The Card Game

Welcome to the sport of the future — autoduelling! Killer cars battle with machine guns, missiles, autocannons, and flamethrowers. You’re behind the wheel . . . and the last survivor wins.

This fast, fun game, based on Steve Jackson Games’ award-winning Car Wars, includes six full-color car cards, 150 full-color playing cards, and short, easy rules.
