About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for vehicular mayhem in Gaslands! This game throws you into the heart of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where might makes right and survival is the only law. Assemble your team of customized, destruction-ready hot rods and enter insane races where the goal is to finish first... or at least not become scrap metal before the checkered flag.

Gaslands is pure adrenaline in miniature wargame form. You'll manage your crew, upgrade your vehicles with makeshift weapons and armor, and, of course, engage in breathtaking chases. Movement is super dynamic, using templates to chart trajectories and special dice to simulate drifts and risky maneuvers. Each race is a chance to earn cash and fame, but beware: what's left of your car after the battles is what you'll use to repair and boost it for the next showdown.

This is a game that thrives on player creativity. You can use any car miniatures you like, from toy cars to more elaborate models, and transform your vehicle into a unique war machine. Crew and resource management is crucial to staying competitive. Gaslands is an award-winner in its own right, recognized for its innovation and fun. If you enjoy non-stop action, customization, and a touch of post-apocalyptic insanity, Gaslands is for you!
