In the bleak future, after the collapse of our modern technological world, most of the structures we hold dearly today are no longer effective. The things that brought us comfort and ease have fallen into disrepair and disuse. Central governments have given way to localized strongmen. In some places the world is nothing but a vast wasteland and in other locals mankind thrives by calling back to its pre-modern lifestyle.
Apocalypse Road is a race game using the Thunder Alley/Grand Prix engine. Players attempt to score points by crossing the finish line (somewhat like roller derby) and by eliminating opposing cars. The first team to 15 points wins the event and gets a double portion of foodstuffs as a reward.
In Apocalypse Road, a race is played to the accumulation of 15 skins for a team. A Skin may be scored in two ways.
Each time a car crosses the Finish Line is worth 1 Skin.
Each opposing car that is eliminated during your activation is worth 1 Skin.
There is no leading and there is no tracking of lapped cars.
