	Is super awesome. This page however, is not. It needs help. Read some of the books. Seriously - there is a book series published under the collective "Dark Future" heading that's still easily available on Amazon, and for cheap - give them a read, they are good, stupid, fun: Ninja killer Ferrari nuns from Rome. Demon credit cards. Machine guns on every car. Psycho killer chick protagonists and a native american hero named Two-Dogs-Fucking. Elvis is a Special Forces veteran mercenary.		Is super awesome.

	None of that was a joke. Seriously, this game is sick and so is its fluff. As well being Mad Max AF, it also has a strong [[Fallout]] 3/4 feel (in terms of its alternate ~~time line~~, radiation everywhere, taking place in fucked up cities, gribblies in the Wasteland vibe). I guess you could also watch Death Race for inspiration, in that the game is based heavily around modified cars blasting seven kinds of hell out of each other with bolted-on machine guns. [[GW]] discontinued it when they decided to focus solely on [[Warhammer]], and when they realised everyone was just using converted Matchbox cars rather than their own bespoke models.

	The game itself ~~takes the form of~~ a 2+ player board game, with the board itself being made up of straight or curved track segments, which players set up to form a customisable playing area.
