Car War Basic: Reissued!

It continues to be an amazing year as Steve Jackson Game re-releases the original Car Wars Classic Board Game game!

This one appears to have die-cut counters instead of the old flimsy "sneeze and die" paper-cut ones. Nice touch. And four dice in the box too, very nice.

This is also the basic version of the game, before Deluxe Car Wars or the Car Wars Compendium added so much the game became unrecognizable. This is just the basic game with a couple cars, a couple weapons, and a lot of tactical fun.

This game is a lot of fun, and by the reviews on Amazon, a new generation is discovering this gem. It may not be the fastest game around, but it is solid and it brings back many Mad Max style memories and good times.

Thank you to a great company for reissuing this classic game, and please check it out for some very cool and fun tactical car combat. This is one of the greats, and it is great to see it back.

Somebody Finally made a Better d4

Did you see these?

Set of Unique 4-sided Dice in Five Colors

They look like...they look like...

You can actually pick them up!

Two sets ordered, because I know DarkgarX is going to try to steal my set.

These would actually make Savage Worlds playable again at low levels. I know part of that game is leveling past a d4 in the skills you actually need, but this actually makes a d4 skill...bearable.

It's taken 40 years, but someone has finally made something to improve the lives of roleplayers everywhere.

We live in remarkable times, my friends.
