About this board game

Infernal Wagon is a cooperative game for 2–5 players that plays in 7 minutes or less. As a mine collapses around you, work together to build a path to the exit and get the wagon to safety before time runs out.

At the beginning of the game, place the three starting cards and put the wagon on the last one. The group must then create a route by playing cards and moving the wagon forward. To win, place the exit card within the seven-minute time span. All players win or lose together.

There is no turn order. When the moment is right, the player holding the best card plays it and activates its effect. That player then draws a card, after which any other player can take a turn. This flexible structure keeps everyone involved and encourages constant cooperation as the path takes shape.

  • Cooperative gameplay for 2–5 players
  • A game time of 7 minutes at most
  • Shared decisions with no fixed turn order
  • A high chance of devastating effects when cards are played
  • A two-player variant allowing two cards to be played consecutively

Every card comes with risk: playing it may trigger a devastating effect that makes the escape even more difficult. The team must balance the need to advance with the danger attached to each play, while racing toward the exit and the end of the game.

Fast, tense, and easy to bring to the table, Infernal Wagon turns a collapsing mine into a shared challenge. Coordinate your choices, keep the route moving, and reach the exit before one of the end-game conditions is met.
