Dirt and Glory (2024)

About this game

Dirt and Glory is an adrenaline-pumping card game set in a post-apocalyptic world in which speed, tactics, and a bit of luck are the keys to success! Take on the role of a fearless leader, then race for dominance, guiding your convoy through the treacherous wasteland to claim the richest territories. Each round starts by revealing a location card, which gives players a target number they try to reach with their convoy as close as possible. Players can press their luck playing cards from their deck, and whoever gets closest to the target receives the best reward. Topping the target makes you bust, leaving you (almost) empty-handed. At the end of each round, a player chooses a new card with a unique ability to add to their deck. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
