About the game
Gaslands is a tabletop miniatures wargame of car-to-car combat in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where players form racing teams competing for money, fame, and survival. Using custom movement templates and 'skid dice,' players maneuver their vehicles through frantic races and demolition-derby combat, scavenging resources between events to upgrade for the next showdown. The rules are designed to work with almost any miniature car models, letting players build a wildly customized fleet of war machines. Gaslands won both the Judges' Choice and People's Choice awards for Best New Miniatures Rules at UK Games Expo 2018. It's chaotic, fast-paced, and endlessly customizable.
Hobbli's Notes
Gaslands captures Mad Max-style vehicular mayhem better than almost anything else on the market, and the flexible ruleset means you can build your dream junkyard fleet from whatever miniatures you have. It does ask for some investment in models and templates to get the full experience. A fantastic choice for miniature hobbyists who want chaos and customization in equal measure.
What we like
- Fast and chaotic vehicular combat with customizable miniatures.
- Flexible rules system adapts to nearly any car models.
- Award-winning design recognized at UK Games Expo 2018.
- Scales well from two to eight players.
Keep in mind
- Requires acquiring and assembling or painting miniatures.
- Movement templates and skid dice add setup complexity.
- Rules may need house-ruling to balance different builds.
Who it's for
Great for miniature wargame hobbyists ages 11 and up who enjoy customization and chaotic vehicular combat, in groups of 2-8.
