Thunder Road: Vendetta - Carnival of Chaos Races to the Battle Arena (Sponsored Post)

This is a sponsored post

Thunder Road: Vendetta restores the classic 1986 racing game of speeding, shooting, and smashing, bringing combat-racing back to tabletop. Since its release, Thunder Road: Vendetta has made Top Ten lists and been awarded the 2023 Golden Geek Light Game of the Year, 2023 Board Game Quest Awards Game of the Year, and the 2024 American Tabletop Strategy Games category.

With the success of the base game, the Mad-Max-like desert wasteland grew with three expansions, giving players more roads, hazards, and upgrades. Now Carnival of Chaos gives a whole new way to play, turning a death race into a demolition derby.

Sometimes the path to victory means smashing through your opponents. This time, it’s not a race to the finish line but surviving the chaos because Turbo Tina is hosting a Destructionpalooza in her arena. She needs entertainment and you need scrap. It may be a death sentence, but if you’re gonna go, at least it’ll be in front of screaming fans.

It’s Party Time

Take control of a crew, including a new purple crew for a fifth player, and battle it out to claim victory. The arena features new perks and challenges. Grab the spotlight spaces on the board to earn scrap. But look out, this isn’t just a flat road. Killer pillars pop out of the arena to bash cars and cause havoc. Besides the arena itself, your opponents still want to take you out, and they can do it even better with super-weapon cards. You may get cluster missiles, a laser kebab, or a big friendly gun to upgrade your car.

Turbo Tina demands the best entertainment. Each round she’ll issue a new decree to shake things up, changing the Direction die, slams, damage, and more. Clever crews will make the most of these new rules. Tina wants to give you a fighting chance though, so she’s scattered sweet swag around the carnival. Grab those party favors when your car ends its movement on one to help you avoid obstacles, improve movement, or get an extra shot in.

Get comfortable with the layout of the arena? Flip over the double-sided board for a new challenge. Swap out the road boards with any boards from the base game or other expansions. Combine Carnival of Chaos with the other Thunder Road: Vendetta expansions for the wildest, most explosive car-combat you’ll ever see. Shoot, slam, and survive!
