This caught my eye as I've always been a fan of futristic battle driving games.
Glory Games, Inc, has published SPEED RALLY, the game of fantastic auto racing where outlandish vehicles outfitted with buzz saws, booster jacks and other devices careen around obstacle-filled tracks or roar across dangerous terrain.
Speed Rally is a new set of miniature rules designed to be used with any 1/64 scale die-cast car -- the kind you can find in toy stores, supermarkets and online
(such as, for example, Hot Wheels®, Matchbox® or other brands). It was inspired by the extreme, and often crazy, races you've seen in dozens of movies, TV shows and Saturday morning cartoons. Whether you want to race wacky vehicles in an animated setting or run gritty death races where points are scored for running over pedestrians, Speed Rally gives you the rules to generate your favorite cars and drivers -- or create your own.
You can now order the full-color downloadable PDF of the game from speedrally.net. In addition, the site offers free downloads of track segments you can print out on your home printer, car & driver sheets and wallpaper. In the future, Glory Games will be offering more tracks & an expansion set with additional vehicles and devices.
Speed Rally is a 40-page set of rules and includes the charts, measuring strips and car & driver sheets needed to play. The PDF is available for US$10, and the printed Pace Car Edition is $15 plus $5 shipping + handling. (The "Pace Car Edition" of the rulebook was printed for Historicon 2008 and remaining supplies are limited.)
Speed Rally was created by JP Trostle, a graphic artist and game designer who has, in the past, contributed to TSR and Dork Storm Press. Glory Games, Inc., is owned by Matt and Doug DeLaMater, and is the game publishing arm of Military History Press.
