(From the publisher's website) Scrapyard 500 is a fast-paced road race game in which players "build" race buggies, load them with weapons and compete in a no-holds-barred race around the Scraptown track. Playable either with the counters included in the rules or with 28mm scale miniatures and 1/35 scale vehicles, Scrapyard 500 offers five character types to choose from in building a race team, six weapons (everything from net guns for the pacifists to flame throwers and rocket launchers for those of a more lethal persuasion) plus a hex-based, build-it-yourself track that includes nine different hazard hexes that can be used to make a different track for each race. Rules are easy to learn and offer endless chaos and laughs. Remember, it's not how you win the race. It's winning that counts.
