Restoration Games Thunder Road: Vendetta – Carnage at Devil's Run

Key features of the Hell Ride: Vendeta–Scoundrels & Gizmos board game expansion

Crew commanders and command tokens

The expansion replaces the standard command board from the base game with a crew commander board. Each commander offers a specific ability that doesn't require a die to be assigned, as well as command types. During their turn, players use command tokens to activate a second action in a single round. The bonus command is evaluated with the lowest possible value for that action. At the end of the round, all used tokens are returned to the common supply.

Upgrade cards and vehicle modifications

Before the race starts, players draft upgrade cards and assign one to each of their cars. These upgrades, such as tank treads or a heavy machine gun, give a specific vehicle a permanent advantage. If a car becomes undriveable, the assigned upgrade card is temporarily deactivated until repairs are made. Abilities cannot be moved between vehicles during the game.

Game setup and crew restrictions

Players can include both commanders and upgrade cards in their game at the same time, or use each element separately. When playing with commanders, each player receives two boards at the start and chooses one leader. The specific Tiny and Last Five crews cannot use upgrade cards or commanders, but they can race normally in such a game. The other players draft upgrade cards at the start from four dealt cards.
