Special Abilities

• EMP Blast: Disable all opponent weapons within 3 spaces for one turn.
• Auto Repair: Restore 5 Health once per game.

Turn Order

Players take turns in the following phases:

1. Movement Phase
2. Attack Phase
3. End Phase

Phases in Detail

Movement Phase

1. Roll 1d6 and add your Speed stat.
2. Move your car up to the total number of spaces rolled.
3. Navigate obstacles by rolling a Handling check (1d6). If the roll is less than or equal to your Handling stat, pass the obstacle. If not, lose 1 Speed for the rest of the turn.
4. Collect any power-ups in your path.

Attack Phase

1. Choose an opponent within your weapon’s range.
2. Roll 1d6 to determine if the attack hits (4-6 is a hit).
3. If the attack hits, roll for damage based on your weapon’s stats.
4. Subtract the opponent’s Armor from the damage rolled.
5. Deduct the resulting damage from the opponent’s Health.
6. Track ammo usage. If you run out of ammo, you cannot attack until you find more (via power-ups).

 End Phase

1. Resolve any ongoing effects (burning, EMP, etc.).
2. Check car status (destroyed cars are removed from the game).
3. Check for victory conditions (finish line crossed or last car remaining).

Power-Ups

Place power-ups at specific points on the track. Players collect power-ups by moving over them.

• Ammo Refill: Restore 5 ammo to your primary weapon.
• Health Pack: Restore 5 Health.
• Speed Boost: Increase Speed by 2 for one turn.
• Shield: Gain +2 Armor for one turn.

Oil Slick: Deploy an oil slick behind your car, causing the next car to pass it to spin out and lose their turn.

Obstacles

Place obstacles at various points on the track:

• Rocks: Require a Handling check to pass. Failure results in losing 1 Speed for the turn.
• Potholes: Reduce Speed by 1 for the next turn if hit.
• Ramps: Require a Handling check to jump. Success gives a Speed boost; failure causes damage (1d6).
