Description

Dustbiters: Pocket Edition is a streamlined, 18-card wallet version of one of our favorite tiny games, Dustbiters, in partnership with creators Robbie Fraser, Jan Willem Nijman, and Terri Vellmann. On the outskirts of the civilization, two rival car gangs are locked in a deadly car chase as they bid to outrun the unrelenting duststorm. Dustbiters is a quick and furious card game about rival car gangs racing to outrun a giant dust storm. Last car standing wins! It's 100 miles an hour in the dirt and you're gonna need all the cunning, trickery and horsepower you've got! During a turn the player has 3 actions that can be spent in several ways, each costing one action: - Draw a new car into your hand. - Place a new car at the front of the convoy. - Drive a car one space forward or one space backward. - Use a car power. Each car is unique, has different abilities, and affects the cars around it in different ways. But beware, at the end of each turn the car at the back is destroyed by the dust storm!
