THUNDER ROAD: VENDETTA @ Stoup Capitol Hill!

Details

"Well, what does she expect? You leave your navigator lying around, naturally somebody's gonna run over him."

Thunder Road: Vendetta is a revved-up restoration of the classic 1986 game of mayhem on the asphalt. Grab your crew, roll your dice, race your cars, shoot your guns, and try not to get wrecked.

This new version features exciting new additions, including random hazard tokens, such as wrecks, oil slicks, and more. Damage isn't merely one and done. Now, you'll draw damage tokens with exciting effects that can send your car careening across the board. You'll also have more choices on your turn, assigning one of your dice to your command board to repair damage, nitro boost, or send out your attack copter to fire away.

Thunder Road: Vendetta is a medium-light complexity racing and combat game which incorporates grid movement lots of dice rolling, and heavy "take that!" elements. It also involves player elimination -- in fact that's kind of the point.

New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

2 - 4 players
45 - 90 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity. We may be able to play more than once!

Rules overview: Watch it Played with Rodney Smith (Don't worry, we'll go over the rules on the day, too.)

A few important details:

  • It's Cap Hill, so parking can be a challenge. Sorry, it's a walking neighborhood! Stoup (formerly Optimism) Brewing is located at the corner of Union and Broadway, very close to several transit stops and the First Hill Streetcar.
  • There's an open gaming event organized by another group happening at the same time, we'll try to set up near them so all the gamers can hang out together! In the event of a low turnout we can even see if any of them would like to fill the empty seat(s).
  • Purchasing something isn't a strict requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can!
  • Stoup allows outside food and there are several eateries nearby. There's usually a food truck outside too.
  • I open signups for most of my events 1-3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to know about that when it happens and have the opportunity to claim a seat before others, you can join the Seattle Board Games Discord server, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open!
