So, I have a 5-year old son, and it pains me greatly that he has so many toy cars and yet doesn’t take the obvious opportunity to play Death Race 2000. I’m starting to think he’s no son of mine.
So I got a copy of Gaslands: Refuelled, and had a solo practice game tonight. It started as a good, clean, street race.
Them the blue buggy mistimed a turn, and hit a barrier. Meanwhile, the orange (yellow team) buggy perfectly timed a corner, but spun out of control hitting a bollard, flipping his car and exploding against a giant concrete dinosaur (which was a thing in Mad Max; I distinctly remember a giant concrete dinosaur).
The explosion (only happens on a 6+ on a wreck) (and the machine gun) mildly inconvenienced the blue car…
But didn’t stop it crossing the finish line first, while the yellow car drove into the back of the blue buggy out of sheer annoyance, smashing it through the barrier and also accidentally causing it to explode.
Hugely love this game. I want to bring it when it’s possible to meet up again in Meatspace. Also, it’s actually impossible not to say ‘brrrrrRRRRRMM’ when moving the cars. Higly recommended if you have a lot of toy cars around.
