Description

We’ve been so pleased with the format of Joyride: Downtown that we’ve put together two mini-expansions, Joyride: High Seas (featuring the Pirate Van) and Joyride: Unleashed (featuring the Safari 4×4). High Seas will release alongside Survival of the Fastest (Aug 2024), and Unleashed will release alongside Next Gen (Feb 2025).

Quotes (from this video)
  • The world is your oyster, right? The amount of variability can mean you basically have a lot a lot of fun with this and each game be kind of slightly different.
  • it's Mario Kartesque, but with a board game twist and big laughs.
  • The Turbo Box is the big box of all things Joyide. This brings together everything we just said with some extras and some excellent storage.
  • storage is excellent. It makes set up and tear down really quick.
  • Volcano Island introduces lava and some races will see the volcano erupt, spewing lava across the map.
  • Nitro 2.0 acts like the original Nitro, but a bit more intense.
