Watch in glee as cars explode into fireballs. Drive on and smile as the next target comes into range. Set the gunnery computer and squeeze the trigger - then BOOM! How long can you survive in the deadly arena of the future ? Do you have what it takes to be a highway warrior ? Only by playing BATTLECARS, with its unique simulation of driving skill and combat, will you ever find out. Expansion Set Battlebikes

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
