Car Wars (Sixth Edition) (2021)

About this game

Car Wars is a game featuring arenas and freeways of the future in which the right of way goes to those with the biggest guns. Players build their vehicle — complete with weapons, armor, suspension, and upgrades. Then they take them onto the road or into the arena. Sixth Edition is a streamlined update of the classic Car Wars. Quicker to build your car, quicker to learn to play, quicker to jump right in.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
