I call foul! This would be along the lines of saying Wizards of the Coast is trumpeting that you could download the original white box Dungeons & Dragons set absolutely free BUT only allow you to get the first book. In other words it’s like saying, “Here are some rules absolutely free! Go knock yourself out. Of course if you’d actually like to PLAY the game you’ll have to buy this, and this, and this. Oh, and you’ll have to print those components out on your own dime too.” Isn’t that a bit disingenuous?
Rather than this post becoming a rant on what I feel are major problems with upper management within SJG over the past few years (Is Mr. Jackson still running the show? All my gaming life I thought he was cooler than what seemingly the gaming company which bears his name has been up to lately) let’s just move on to the announcement…
From Steve Jackson Games:
We’ve posted the rulebook for Car Wars Classic, in handy PDF format. Get your free copy right here!

Drive Offensively!
He triggered the rear guns once more. A direct hit! The blue car skidded as the driver lost control – then flipped and caught fire.
That would teach him not to tailgate . . .
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.
