About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to face the chaos! The Riders in the Storm expansion for Death Roads: All Stars brings even more adrenaline to the post-apocalyptic tracks. If you thought the base game was rough, just wait until you feel the weight of sandstorms and weather phenomena that now plague the Divided States of America. This expansion doesn't mess around, adding five new playable characters, each with their own tricks and unique abilities. To complete the arsenal, new weapons with acid and electric effects arrive to give that special touch to the disputes.

The main highlight here is the weather module, which will turn the race into a constant challenge against the elements. Imagine having to deal with gales that throw you back or storms that reduce your visibility and your action options. Additionally, a new sponsor system comes into play, adding another strategic layer for those seeking victory at any cost.

With the introduction of new mechanics and the intensification of the desolate atmosphere, Riders in the Storm elevates the Death Roads: All Stars experience. It's perfect for those who enjoy games with deck construction, hand management, and a good dose of unpredictability, where every decision counts and survival is as important as speed. If you like games with a science fiction theme, racing, and a touch of combat, this expansion is a full plate to add more excitement to your games.
