Event #133 Wrap Up

Thunder road: Vendetta is a game of dice and mayhem! Using a dice pool, players race down a post-apocalyptic highway in 3 vehicles each. This is not only a race to the finish line but a race to survive. Between the hidden hazards, canyon walls and the other players finishing the race is unlikely. Dave, Zac and Alex showed me just that.

When I first sat down to watch this chaotic battle it appeared Dave would win. He had all three vehicles still and was in the middle of the map. Zac was leading with one of his vehicles, which meant he was clearing more of the hidden hazards and the risks associated with the unknown, and Alex was down to only 1 vehicle, that was still on it’s wheels anyway.

Then the chaos ensued.

Zac sped up on Dave, with one of his trailing cars. He then forced Dave into another lane. Then Zac proceeded to shoot at Dave, unfortunately for Zac, the bullets ricochet back taking out his own car in the process!
While this is happening Alex is madly trying to fix his heavy vehicle that was damaged in an earlier challenge for position.

Further down the road, Dave swerves in an attempt to run Zac off the road, he miss-judges and ends up careening into a cliff wall, ending his race in a dramatics display of poor driving.

As the race continues Helicopters were deployed to attempt to shoot at passing drivers, slowing them down or taking them out of the race. This was a unsuccessful tactic. In the end, with a few clever turns and some luck with the hidden obstacles, Alex was the victor.

This was a very interesting light game, and just as fun to watch as I’m sure it is to play. Next time you get it to the table Dave, count me in!
