Badass Riders

About this board game

Badass Riders is a competitive card game for 2 to 8 players, recreating a frenetic race of armed cars in a post-apocalyptic future. A game takes about 40 minutes, with players battling across a desert scarred by tyres, gunpowder, and violence.

Each player chooses a vehicle and a pilot, both offering unique characteristics and abilities. Combining these choices creates different strategies as the race develops, giving every player a distinct way to approach the dangerous circuit.

The circuit itself is built with terrain cards. Players can create a completely personalised course, adjusting its complexity and duration by adding more or fewer special terrains. This flexible setup lets each game take on a different shape.

• Arsenals and traps that make the route more hazardous
• Sandstorms that transform the desert battlefield
• Snipers positioned to threaten the racers
• A huge, monstrous sandworm waiting among the dunes

The vehicles are equipped for a violent contest, with missiles, machine guns, knives, missile launchers, and antitank mines ready for the action. As the starting pistol signals the beginning, engines roar and sand explodes beneath the tyres.

With support for up to eight players and a circuit that can be tailored to the desired challenge, Badass Riders delivers a compact, chaotic card-game race. Build the course, select your combination of vehicle and pilot, and face a desert filled with weapons and deadly surprises.
