Thunder Road: Vendetta

Brett Myers, Rob Daviau · Restoration Games · 2022

High-octane vehicular combat racing on a scrolling road that drops trailing cars off the board. Roll dice to move, shoot, and slam opponents while the road itself shifts forward relentlessly. A loving modernization of the 1986 classic with upgraded mechanics and production.

How it plays

Thunder Road: Vendetta is a chaotic car-combat race across a post-apocalyptic desert. Each player controls a small gang of cars. You roll dice to move, pick routes across modular board tiles, and smash into or shoot at rival cars along the way.

Cars take damage and explode, helicopters swoop in, and the board keeps scrolling forward, so cars that fall behind get wiped out. The first player to get a car to the finish wins, or you win by being the last gang still racing. It's loud, fast and full of luck, made to be played with friends who enjoy trash talk.
