GASLANDS GAME, episode 1
Our local car smith worked together an intro game for us to play in the post apocalyptic near future, Gaslands.
It’s basically a Death Race game ala Car Wars styles but with some really slick mechanics built into the rules.
A blurry shot of my cards
My two vehicles, Machete and Mjr Stumblecock
Captain Roshon’s car peel out to my left.
Dave’s cars advance from the far end of the table.
Robs cars also advance from the opposite table edge.
Tim’s ram buggies to my right.
I shift up to 3rd gear and go after the buggies.
Roshon swarms Machete and shoots him up with MG fire.
Shooting my 125mm gun and ramming buggies
Dave’s team rounds the corner. The templates in the game are pretty ingenious and dictate movement in the game as well as create effects like slides.
Machete’s last days.
Some sharp turns at high gears. Shifting into higher gears in the game gives the car more actions in a turn but also make it harder to maneuver. The mechanics play out smoothly.
Still ramming and shooting buggies. I had over 6 hazards which is a wipe out test each turn, but kept passing them.
A ram job from Roshon on Machete
And totaled but not without giving some damage back.
Dave’s team coming up on Roshon’s flank
Ramming and shooting buggies
Mjr Stumblecock rams the wall after shooting a biggie, but survives.
Cars are beginning g to pile up!
Rob takes out a buggy
Roshon’s cars collide into a buggy and mutual destruction
The junkyard grows
Dave and a buggy tangled in a head on collision destroying both and the ammo cooked off affecting other cars.
More carnage
Mjr Stumblecock still ramming and shooting
But dies by Robs fire
In the end only Dave’s car survived.
Lots of fun and a low investment to play. Already thinking about my own team.
More to come,
Doc
