Dustrunner

A solo survival race across a post-nuclear desert, piloting a custom all-terrain vehicle while pursued by raiders, surveillance bots, and giant dust worms. Players build a vehicle by combining cards and attaching upgrades, then navigate the route by repeatedly drawing two face-down event cards and choosing which to resolve. Choices matter: resolving the first discards the second unseen, while passing forces resolution of the second, which can be tougher if it’s an enemy. The run ends when the player reaches base, is caught by raiders, or loses all health; an optional score tracks performance.
