The year is 2200 and survivors of man-made and natural disasters struggle to live in a world poisoned and devastated beyond recognition. The new extreme sport and source of income for many are Death Derby races in which competitors vie to win or just to survive. Death Derby features random courses formed from 15 track sections, 12 vehicles that can be upgraded with 37 different modifications, and 40 action cards that can influence the outcome in multiple ways. Be the first to finish the race or the last one standing as you try to out think, out race, and out shoot your opponents. Modify your vehicle into a death machine or speed demon to survive while hampering everyone's efforts with well timed action cards. Can be played in a group from a single deck or a single modified deck, or you can modify your own to take on someone else's. One 10-sided die, tokens, and pen and paper are needed to play. —description from the designer
