About the game
Rallyman: DIRT puts players behind the wheel of a supercharged rally car, racing the clock across hexagonal-tile stages using a mix of Gear, Brake, and Coast dice. Each die can only be rolled once per turn, and rolling too many Warning symbols means losing control, adding time and potentially damaging your car. The game combines this new edition with the original Rallyman and its Dirt expansion, featuring drifting, jumping, and corner-cutting mechanics alongside modular hex tiles that let players build iconic tracks or design their own. Supporting one to six players, it offers both a satisfying solo time-trial experience and competitive multiplayer racing. Upgraded artwork and components round out this refreshed edition of a beloved racing design.
Hobbli's Notes
Rallyman: DIRT captures the feel of rally racing better than almost any other board game on the market, thanks to its clever risk-versus-control dice system. The solo time-trial mode is genuinely excellent and could carry the game on its own. Multiplayer racing adds a fun competitive edge, though turns can create some downtime while others plan their runs. For racing game fans, this is close to essential.
What we like
- Tactile, tension-filled dice-driven racing system.
- Modular hex tracks offer near-endless replayability.
- Excellent standalone solo time-trial mode.
- Accessible rules hiding real tactical risk management.
- Beautiful artwork and upgraded components.
Keep in mind
- Multiplayer turns can create downtime for other racers.
- Dice-rolling luck significantly affects individual runs.
- Larger tracks require a fair amount of table space.
Who it's for
Great for racing game fans, dice-game enthusiasts, and solo players aged 10 and up.
