## Description
Car Wars Supplement, City Blocks 2 drops you into the gritty streets of 2038, fully compatible with the original City Blocks module. Up to eight drivers take the wheel of armed cars and race through city blocks littered with wreckage, broken bridges, and, of course, crazed motorists lurking around every corner. The board uses a square grid, making movement and line‑of‑sight calculations straightforward while still allowing for blocking and ambush tactics. A typical game runs about 45 minutes, keeping the pace fast and adrenaline‑pumping. Your goal is to survive the course – cross the river, dodge debris, and eliminate opponents – without becoming another statistic in the AADA database. As an expansion, you’ll need the core Car Wars game and the first City Blocks set to assemble the full scenario. The supplement adds new maps, event cards, and a handful of extra vehicles, all aimed at making the experience more dangerous and unpredictable. If you love Car Wars' vehicular combat but found the early missions a bit tame, City Blocks 2 cranks up the difficulty with higher‑risk zones and deeper tactical options. Keep in mind that, being a supplement, it doesn’t include the base components; you’ll need the original game or purchase the pieces separately. In short, it’s the extra dose of destruction fans of Car Wars were craving, with a board that makes the city feel like a metal‑strewn minefield.
