Dustbiters: Pocket Edition

About this board game

Dustbiters: Pocket Edition is an 18-card game for 2 players that plays in around 15 minutes. Rival car gangs race across the outskirts of civilization, trying to outrun an unrelenting duststorm in a frantic fight for survival.

Each player has three actions to spend during a turn. You can draw a new car into your hand, place a car at the front of the convoy, or drive a car one space forward or backward. You can also spend an action to use a car power, giving every vehicle a distinctive ability and letting it affect the cars around it.

• Draw a new car into your hand.
• Place a car at the front of the convoy.
• Drive a car one space forward or backward.
• Use a unique car power.

Timing and positioning are crucial, because the convoy is constantly threatened from behind. At the end of every turn, the car at the back is destroyed by the duststorm, forcing both players to make fast decisions about which vehicles to advance, replace, or sacrifice.

With its quick turns and unique car abilities, Dustbiters: Pocket Edition distills the original Dustbiters experience into a streamlined format that fits in a wallet. It is a quick and furious contest of cunning, trickery, and horsepower, where the last car standing wins.

Released in 2025, this compact card game is designed for head-to-head play and delivers a deadly car chase in a remarkably small package.
