Gaslands: Refueled | Death Race

WELCOME TO THE NETWORK. TONIGHT’S RACE BEGINS IN THIRTY SECONDS. THE PRIZE IS YOUR LIFE.
The world ended. Humanity adapted. Now the wasteland has one export left: entertainment. Corporations broadcast death races across the ruins for a paying audience, and somewhere out there, your rusted wreck of a vehicle is pointed at a starting line. Gaslands: Refuelled is a post-apocalyptic tabletop wargame of vehicular carnage played with Hot Wheels cars, movement templates, and a fistful of dice. It has no miniature range to buy into. No army to build over months. Just cars, weapons, fire, and the crowd screaming for blood.

Never played before? Good. Grab a car, learn the templates in five minutes, and let’s race.

Perfect for: Mad Max fans, anyone who ever ruined a friendship in Twisted Metal or Rocket League, miniature hobbyists looking for an excuse to kitbash toy cars, and people who want a wargame without a four-figure buy-in.

🎒 What to bring

• Yourself
• Your own Gaslands car if you have one, ready to race
• €10,- if you want to build one here: we supply the Hot Wheels car and conversion parts
• Nothing else required

🎁 What we provide

• Loaner cars so you can play immediately without building anything
• Movement templates and skid dice
• Full terrain setup
• Cars and conversion parts to build your own for €10,-
• Rules walkthrough before each race

🏁 How the evening runs

• We run a new race every hour with up to 5 players at the table. Spots fill up fast.
• While one group races, up to 5 people can sit at the build station and convert their own car for €10,-.
• If both the race table and the build station are full when you arrive, come back an hour later. The next race starts on the hour.
• Finished your car at the build station? Jump into the next race and take it out on the track.

⚙️ How it plays

• Each round is divided into six Gear Phases. Cars in a higher gear activate more often. Drive faster, do more, risk more.
• Movement templates. To move, you pick a template, commit to it, and slide your car to the end. No measuring. No take-backs. Pick it up and you’re going there whether it fits or not.
• Skid dice add chaos to every move. Roll them and get Shifts, Slides, Spins, or Hazard tokens. Too many Hazard tokens and you wipe out. Driving clean is harder than it sounds at speed.
• Weapons range from crew-fired shotguns and molotovs to vehicle-mounted machine guns, rams, oil slick droppers, mines, and harpoons. Yes, there is a catapult that launches car bodies.
• Sponsors. Your team belongs to a faction, each with its own playstyle. Idris rewards aggression. Rutherford rewards performance. Miyazaki rewards precision. Pick your sponsor, build to their strengths.
• The game is a televised sport. Getting your car wrecked generates Audience Votes, which buy you buffs, gear changes, and second chances. Dying spectacularly is mechanically rewarded.
• Vehicle types cover everything from lightweight buggies and performance cars to monster trucks, war rigs, and bikes. Any Hot Wheels car fits somewhere in the list.
• Damage sticks. Weapons destroyed, hull points ground down, crew killed. A car that survives three races looks different than one that just rolled off the starting line.

🏆 What you take home

• Your car, if you built one
• A full working understanding of template movement and why gear management wins races
• An opinion on whether ramming or shooting is the better strategy (it’s ramming)
• 10% discount on all Gaslands products in store
