Car Wars from Steve Jackson
Games is the oldest and most popular automotive combat tabletop
game, however it is not the only set of rules for vehicular mayhem.
Several games of automotive combat have been created since 1981 when
Car Wars was first released.
This page attempts to list all of these games currently available and
out of print. Professionally-printed titles from game companies and
print-and-play systems from gamers are presented here.
This list will be under construction in 2010. Additional information
and links for each game will be added during the year. The BoardGameGeek Web site has
pages for most of these games.
If you know of an automotive combat tabletop game system that should be
on this page, please contact Michael
P.
Owen,
the
SWAT
Webmaster.
