[QUOTE="thormagni, post: 2034051, member: 13637"] And today, I got the Car Wars boxed set, all the way from Louisiana, by Media Mail in two days. That is amazing! It is the Deluxe Edition boxed set from 1985, plus some maps and extra counters that I am really not positive where they came from. I think one might be from the Truck Stop mini-boxed set and the other from Midville? Maybe, I don't remember what all came out for Car Wars way back then. Originally, Car Wars came in a tiny plastic bag and/or box that made Cheapass games look sophisticated. Each of the supplements detailed how to go about playing a different type of vehicle, like one was for trucks and one for cycles, etc. After several supplements that size, they released this boxed set which combined all those rules into one in 1985. Then in the mid 1990s they did it all again, combining even more rules and supplements into another "Deluxe" set. Except that the book in the box in the 1990s was called the "Car Wars Compendium." Anyway, this is a real trip down memory lane for me. I remember this game very fondly. [/QUOTE]
