Welcome adventurer!

This site contains the rules for Nystul's Game Car - a playable adventure game on wheels.

All you need is the car, these rules, some magnets and two (six sided) dice.
There should be magnets on the car.
If there are not, check under the lip of the drivers side door - I stashed some extras there.
The hood ornament should also be two dice in a little shaker.
If that has been stolen or vandalized there is a dice roller HERE but you can use any number of apps - or use dice of your own!

The game is really set up for one person but up to 3 people can play at the same time.

The Objective 

Everyone who is playing will travel across the car facing challenges and gathering treasure.
If you make it to the end, your score is the amount of gold you gathered during your journey.
If you are playing against someone else, high score wins!

If your character runs out of hit points they are dead and your game is over.

There are 4 characters on the hood.

Dwarven Berserker
Elven Bard
