Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is this game standalone or does it require another game?
This is an expansion pack, so you need the base game Car Wars to play with East Midville.
How many players can participate?
The base Car Wars game supports 2 to 8 players, and this expansion maintains that capacity, just increasing the map scale and components.
What is the average playtime with this expansion?
Playtime for Car Wars usually varies greatly depending on the scenario and number of players, but expect longer games due to the larger map scale, possibly around 90 minutes or more.
What exactly comes in this pack?
East Midville includes a giant city map, 31 new vehicle counters, plus rule and scenario sheets to expand your battles.
Do I need other maps or expansions to use this one?
To get the full 42x64 inch map, you will need the Sunday Drivers map. However, the East Midville map can be used on its own.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
The main complexity comes from the base Car Wars game. This expansion focuses on adding scale and components, which can make games more epic, but it doesn't add significantly new complex mechanics.
