Editorial Reviews
Review
"Continuing the Osprey formula of engaging game worlds, explored through tight, eminently playable rule sets, all presented in slim, inexpensive rulebooks with lovely and evocative artwork, you can get deep into Gaslands with little cash outlay." - Boing Boing /Wink
"This little 64-page paperback books is… INCREDIBLE. Gasland‘s rules are simplified, the weapons aren’t over the top, and the playing area is well-defined–you’re racing in a televised free-for-all, so there are goals and a finish line to keep the game on track. Movement, field of fire, and collisions are all simple to understand, and you’ll be up and racing quickly." - GeekDad
"There's a new hobby obsession in my life that I am in love with and it's called Gaslands." - The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast
"In Gaslands (think: a breezier, less crunchy, more modern Car Wars) there are no ranges of miniatures to draw from. Instead, the game encourages you to Mad Max-ify Matchbox and Hotwheels cars to use in your games. How much fun is this? Lots." - Boing Boing
"The value of [Osprey Wargame] books is unbelievably good. Generally, $20 can get you an interesting ruleset with great artwork." - Jacob Stauttener, Must Contain Minis
"I like this better than X-Wing by far! ... I highly recommend this game.... It jumps up off the table. You can feel the mud flying around." - Joel Eddy, Drive Thru Reviews
"It's Awesome!" - Ding & Dent
"This book is 20 bucks. All you have to buy is some Matchbox cars, which go from a dollar...down to sometimes as cheap as 59 cents.... Your team is maybe three to six cars. So you're at $26. You glue some bits to them, you spray them down with some paint. You set up some very simple terrain and you're ready to go." - Tabletop Minions
"This game is a lot better [than Carwars]." - Rob's Tabletop World
"Whether you’re a minis player looking for an excuse to let out your inner War Boy or someone looking to make use of your (or your child’s) toy car collection for a fast, fun skirmish game, Gaslands is great way to get onto the fury road for an hour or two." - Geek & Sundry
"Gaslands is an insanely fun and addictive game. It’s affordability sets it apart from other miniature games. The variety of scenarios, options, and unpredictable gameplay makes Gaslands one of the rare games that gamers can get almost infinite replay value." - Nerds on Earth
"One of the most compelling things about Gaslands is that you spend around $13 for the rule book and then you have to basically build the rest of the game yourself. There are templates and markers in the back of the book to print out and mount, terrain and buildings to build, and most fun of all, you get to convert and Mad Max-ify toy cars." - Boing Boing
"There is an extremely fun game here packed in for a fantastic price." - Must Contain Minis

The Game is obviously heavily influenced by Mad Max and Deathrace movies. You race cars/bikes/trucks/buggies/buses/Monster Trucks/Tanks while shooting and ramming your opponents. The winner isn't usually the fastest but the car that can survive to reach the finish line!
There is an official Gaslands site maintained by the author of the game with printable resources and links to an online car and team builder.
The book contains the complete rules of the game, with templates you can photocopy in the back.
If you are fond of Star Wars X-Wing movement mechanics, you will be quite happy with Gaslands. Your current speed determines what maneuvers you may choose from. You pick a maneuver, place the template, then roll the skid dice to see how much control you had over your high speed murder machine.

The game is very template heavy (shooting attacks are even measured with movement templates) as well as token heavy. Generally I am not a fan of loads of templates or tokens (why I did not give this game 5 stars) but overall it does not bog things down much. Also there are a few pages in the back that can be photocopied to make your own templates and tokens (I ordered some of my own from the author) and in the states these can be found online. Also specialized dice called "skid dice" are very important, but again if you do not have these there is a D6 chart you can use.
Overall I think this game is a blast and I highly recommend it!

This is a simple rule set, that can be as complicated or as simple as you choose. Want to play with a 6/7 year old? Not a problem. Want to play at your gaming club? Not a problem.
The game uses hot wheels or if you want micromachine cars, again your choice. To enter a race you need either 2 or 3 cars. That is all you need, and some D6 and the rule book of course.
It's not hard to learn,but don't let that put you off. This game is a blast to play. Games take maybe 30-45 minutes, depending on how many participants there are.
That's all you need to know. If you are looking for a game that involves cars, and having a laugh this is it.
Do yourself or someone you love get it,and grind some metal.

It plays with hotwheel size cars, with kids in our house we have loads already but they are also really cheap to pick up. Movement is done with templates which are in the book to photocopy or can be printed out from the garlands website, as can team sheets and so on. If your in to tabletop gaming or a fan of mad max, post apocalyptic stuff or car racing then this is for you.
Can't recommend enough, at less than £10 what have you got to lose.


Fear not. For gaslands is here.
Simple, fun, easy to learn and quick to play gaslands is simply awesome
