Description Edit | History

Car Wars is a game of freeways of the future where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players choose their vehicle - complete with weapons, armor, power plants, suspension, and even body style. Then they take them out on the road... to come home as "aces", or to crash and burn. If a driver survives, his abilities improve, and he can earn money to buy bigger and better cars. Advanced rules let players design their own customized cars, trucks, and cycles.
