Description Edit | History

Thunder Road is Milton Bradley's answer to Car Wars. You rocket your team (three cars and a helicopter) down a stretch of post-apocalyptic highway and try to either wipe out the other teams or outdistance them and leave them in the dust. Each turn consists of a dice roll to determine car movement and a combat phase where you try to shoot or ram your opponents. The gameboard consists of two pieces of highway and when the lead car exits the front piece of highway, the back piece is placed in front (after dumping all the wrecks and slowpokes off of it) thus creating a never-ending gameboard.

10 Thunder Road Cards (Special Powers variant)
Cards for cars in Thunder Road! Each player gets (either randomly or by drafting) a card for each class of car, which will indicate their respective cars' special powers. The cards can also be turned 180 degrees to indicate damage (for using the house rule that cars can take a hit before wrecking). Cards for extra large cars are included (tractor trailer, limo, bus, road tanker). Extra large cars take up 2 spaces and enter the board on the road on their owners' first turn. Players roll 4 movement dice instead of 3 when using them (because they will each have 4 cars).

5 More crashing! More shooting! More thunder! (Car Team Tracker)
The visual hit point sheet I used with the More Thunder! variant. Using Jada's Battle Machines, the twelve vehicles in wave 1 were used in the game. This is a handy turn order/HP sheet you can use with that variant. The first car to move is the one closer to the top, then the middle truck, then the bottom vehicle. In the first tracker, that would be the green car, followed by the red truck, followed by the blue car.

6 More crashing! More shooting! More thunder! (Variant Rules)
These are the heavily massaged variant rules we used when running Thunder Road at RinCon '09. Vehicles have hit points, you can smash through cars and knock 'em outta your way, you can shoot other cars, and there's a whole lotta blow 'em up goodness inside.

9 ThunderRoad Variants: Not So Nice Additions Version 1
A simple list of ThunderRoad variant rules sent to the SWAT gaming group via e-mail in December 1996. This file is Version 1.0, containing the same content as the original two e-mail messages. The only change is the text has been formatted for Microsoft Word. The e-mail address of the author, Thax Black, became non-functional several years ago.

7 Thunder Road rules in Pocketmod format
I edited the rules to make them fit into a [url=http://www.pocketmod.com/]PocketMod[/url]. I had to remove the section about assembling the models, but once you assembled you no longer need this description for playing. And nice small rulebook will always be handy :)
