## Description
Hey everyone! Ready to crank up the adrenaline? Autoduel Champions is the kind of expansion that merges two awesome worlds: the high-octane combat of Car Wars with the superpower depth of Champions. Imagine souped-up cars, armed to the teeth, competing in insane races while heroes with cosmic powers lend a hand (or get in the way!).

Originally released as an 8.5" x 11" book, this game brought a ton of new features, including brand-new rules for vehicular duels within the Champions universe and the introduction of superpowers into the chaos of Car Wars. And the coolest part? This is where helicopters got their wings, with complete rules for construction and aerial combat. If you dig the idea of mixing speed, destruction, and supernatural powers on a hexagonal grid board, Autoduel Champions might be right up your alley. It's a must-have for those who already enjoy the base systems and want to add an extra layer of craziness and strategy to their games. Get ready to customize your vehicles and plan every move, because the competition is fierce, and powers can change the game at any moment. It's a crossover that expands the possibilities and the fun!
