About the game

What you do in a play session

In 2082, the world has fractured, splitting into the elite residing in technological metropolises and those struggling for survival in the wastelands. For many, the only chance for upward mobility is the perilous Death Roads car tournament, with citizenship as the ultimate prize. Are you ready to risk it all? In Death Roads: All Stars, you'll select your driver, your vehicle, and an arsenal of weapons to tackle a wild race across a divided America. Every decision shapes your deck of cards, so be prepared for anything: accelerate, shoot, crush rivals, and dodge unexpected events and treacherous skids. With each move, you inch closer to victory or oblivion. Driving, combat, and deck-building blend into an intense, adrenaline-fueled experience where only one can cross the finish line. Featuring mechanics like Action Points, Deck Construction, Hand Management, and Variable Player Powers, the game offers strategic depth. Player Elimination ensures the tension remains high, while Stat-Based Turn Order adds an interesting tactical layer. If you enjoy futuristic racing with a dose of combat and strategy, Death Roads: All Stars is a sure bet for those unafraid to take risks. Get ready for a wild ride!
