Thunder Road: Vendetta – Carnival of Chaos
Players race armored vehicles through a chaotic carnival arena, slamming into rivals and environmental hazards to collect scrap, party favors, and powerful super-weapons. The expansion shifts the objective: play continues until an end condition and the surviving player with the most scrap wins rather than reaching a finish line. It includes a full set of vehicles and a dashboard to add a fifth player or to mix into the base game.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How do you actually win—do we still race to a finish line?
There’s no finish line: the winner is the player with the most scrap at the end, but a player who is out of the game cannot win. The game ends after round 6 or at the end of the round in which a player is out (pages 2, 9).
Can I shoot while my car is still on a road tile?
No. Cars and choppers can shoot only while on the arena board, even after the first round; they can still slam vehicles on road tiles (page 6).
Can I send a car back out of the arena onto a road tile?
You can’t deliberately move an active car from the arena onto a road tile, though a car can be forced back onto one. If forced onto a road tile, turn it to face the arena; moving off an arena edge with no adjacent road tile eliminates it (page 7).
When I turn in the arena, does my car keep facing the same way?
When an active car moves into an arena space that isn’t straight ahead, turn it to face the direction it moved. Forced movement doesn’t change its facing, and moving from a road tile into the arena also follows the facing rule (page 7).
Who gets scrap when a car takes damage or is eliminated?
On your turn, you gain 2 scrap whenever an opposing car gains a damage token and 3 scrap whenever an opposing car is eliminated; both rewards can apply to the same car. No scrap is awarded if no damage token is gained, and damage or eliminations during Tina’s Turn award no scrap (page 6).
Do I have to end my move on a party favor or super-weapon to collect it?
Yes: your car must end its movement on the token’s space. This also applies to extra movement and can happen on another player’s turn or during Tina’s Turn; party favors can be used with any of your cars, while a car can have only one super-weapon (page 8).
