Thunder Road: Ignition Play Through | The Game Haus
Transcript
What happens here? So you hit THAT
and it lands on this bit.
Yeah, right.
What's up everybody? My name is Nick.
We are the brothers Murf and today we're playing some Thunder Road ignition.
Blasting up and we're racing again. This is by Restoration Games who are sponsoring this playthrough. Thank you so much Restoration Games. You can check check this out and pick it up at Gen Con and on their website and stuff. You can check out links in the description below to some of that Thunder Road ignition. This is smaller, quicker version of Thunder Road.
Smaller, quicker version of Thunder Road uh Vendetta where you are still racing uh trying to complete a race first. You are still shooting at each other, blasting off, dealing with hazards and stuff. But this one is a game that doesn't have player elimination. So if your car gets destroyed, it goes to a pit stop. gets set back essentially, but does get to come back on the road and fire once again. So, what we're going to do is we're going to show you an overview of how this version of Thunder Road is going to work. If you already know how to play Thunder Road, you basically know how to play this already. Then, we're going to hop right into a three-player play. In Thunder Road Ignition, players take part in a high octane race as they attempt to be the first to get two of their vehicles across the finish line. Navigating the race course won't be so easy, however, as there are hazards, obstacles, and guns to consider. Each round, players roll all their dice and then take turns activating one of their cars at a time.
When you activate a car, you can first use one of your dice to do a command. The command menu includes the option to slipstream for some extra movement, drift to avoid a slam, jump start your car so it gets back on the road, or fire a missile at any car on the road. Once you decide whether or not to use a command, you will now assign a die to one of your cars. The value of the die is the amount of spaces that car must move. You will continue moving until you slam, take a damage, or need to resolve a hazard. Hazards are at times a red herring, just showing more road, but other times you may deal with rubble, oil slicks, landmines, and omni jumps. If you ever crash into a car, you slam and stack on top of that car. Now, you will roll the red and purple dye to determine which car will move and in which direction. If one vehicle is larger than the other, that player can choose to have the red dye rerollled, but must take the second result. If a car then lands on another car, another slam occurs, which may cause a car to land on a hazard, needing to activate that, and so on. After you move, if a car is in the three spaces directly in front of you, you can shoot at them.
Roll the shooting die and if you roll a face matching the type of vehicle you're targeting, that vehicle takes damage. Damage tokens many times come with their own effects causing even more chaos. If your vehicle takes two damage or is run off the board or into an impassible space, it is removed from the board and placed in the nearest pit space behind them. On a future activation, you can activate a vehicle in the pit and place them into one of the starting spaces on the same tile as your full turn. If you use a jump start command, however, you can move and shoot on the same turn you reenter the race. Play will continue with players moving, shooting, slamming, and blasting off until one player gets two of their vehicles across the finish line, making them the winner.
I'm coming for you. See,
shooting a really tall car. It's just like
she's got a moon roof.
You guys have guns. I'm just doing this.
I got wildfiring. Honestly, terrifying.
We're out here. The gun roof. There we go.
There you go. Gun roof. What am I gonna do?
Sunroof.

God, Wayne's World is such a good movie.
All right, y'all. Uh, this is sponsored by Wayne's World.
Yeah, I was like, who made I'm not anti sponsor by Restoration Games, but maybe I'll Who knows who West Unlimited? Um,
boom.
All right, man. We're ready to rock. Should we roll out our dice? Jimmy is our first player. Whoa.
The youngest player, man.
You haven't had your birthday yet.
Not yet. It's almost Jimmy's birthday. Wish Jimmy happy birthday.
Wish Jimmy happy birthday, folks.
Early birthday.
Yeah. When is this coming out?
Uh before your birthday, so and I don't think there's another thing.
It'll still not quite be your birthday, but you can still wish it.
It'll be close.
That was worse. That was so much worse.
You just rerollled your dice.
Well, I I accidentally flipped one over and I couldn't remember what it was. I was like, let me just reroll everything. But it was all like fives and sixes and remember these were
this is significantly worse for me. So fair enough. It's only the only way.
I was just like, "No, I'm just going to reroll."
Yeah, I don't like that.
All right, Jimmy, what are you going to do? You got to activate one of your cars. And you can activate your command, but you can only do that once per round.
[ __ ] Let's do
Smallville. Good job. Six.
Where would you like to go, Jimmy?
Straight up the middle.
Straight up the middle. Unfortunately, one, two, three, four, five, six. All right.
That's right.
Okay. And now you could shoot.
EAT MY DUST.
BUT YOU HAD nothing to shoot.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um and you're on the road the whole time, huh?
Yep.
Two, three, four, five, six. So you actually go [clears throat] bye. Um I'm gonna move my me. Can I call my me? Um I'm black. I'm gonna go one, two, three, and I'll go here.
Do I? No.
Do I?
No.
Do I? Shall I?
Would I?
One, two, three, four, five, six. I could shoot at Jimmy if I did that.
I could. You should.
I'm 20. It's my birthday.
Oh, happy birthday.
Right. Yeah. My gift bullets.
Five and six. I don't get a road bonus because I started it off road. Uh, and I will shoot at Jimmy. You're in my front arc, man. I've got you targeted, buddy.
Yeah,
that nothing doing.
Nothing.
Only medium.
Nothing.
All right, Jimmy, don't take it.
Okie do.
It's just the rules of the Thunder Road, baby.
Thunder Road don't explode. Um, that's their song.
That is true.
Canonically, uh, that No, nobody's hit a hazard yet. Ridiculous.
How high does that green go up to? Four.
Four. Four.
Okay. Maybe not. And it's in a straight line.
It is. Yeah, man. Hey, what are you worried about? It's probably just a road down there.
It's probably just, you know,
Yeah, it's fine.
It's probably extra road.
Get a head stunt a little bit. Why not?
Right. My small stream.
Have a little strip stream. You earned it.
Um, I'll put this on my medium.
Medium. Where you want to go, Jimmy? I'm going up the middle,
which means I'm also gonna
slam. Huh? Slam because again he's on the road so he can lose an extra one. I should have done with my biggie.
All right, baby. All right, first honest. This one's games I hope it's me that moves. It is good. I hope I move back to the left. Oh, I didn't
back to the right. All right, to the right.
This is one of those games where like I just want the craziest thing to happen. I don't even care if it happens to me. I just want so [snorts] much carnage.
Forget about it. Yeah,
there's so often I'm like, I don't need to slam. I'm gonna
I'm going to slam
because even if it ruins me down.
Okay. I am going to go
slam a little dam. That's what I said. I'm going to go to Whoop.
Uh what do you need? Oh, he's shooting. Who you shooting? Who you shooting?
Me.
Yes.
Of course.
Okay, that's cool.
Miss it out.
He's out here just ducking and weaving. Ducking and weaving. Um, yes.
Yes. Quite.
There's a lot of cars out there, eh?
Here's the thing. I'm going to trust that it's fine. I'm going up the gullet. One, two, three.
Good, man.
Take it to the
be there, rubble. That's fine.
Yeah.
Four, five. I I think I forego the uh the road bonus, but since I'm not damaged, this would
tear you up if you were damaged, but I'm clean. rubble.
He's a rubble rouser.
All right, Jimmy,
what you doing? Your snake eyes.
Snake eyes. Never lose. Um, I'm going to go up the middle with my big guy. So, I'm going to move two spaces.
All right.
I'm shooty shooty. This large one in the patootie.
That is accurate. Well, maybe. We'll see. There it is.
Hey. All right. So, I take damage
demage. And then you also have to do that.
That's also not my car.
I'm on green.
What?
You move my
Oh, okay. I see. Yeah.
Oh my goodness.
Uh, you also have to put your thing on there and
you can fire missile at something if you want.
Sure.
Oh, blast off the best one.
Again, this is technically bad. Don't care.
All right. So, this is blast off. So, I'll roll this stunt guy and I'll move that many in whatever direction comes here. I hope I go off the board. I'll say it.
Land on a hazard.
Three. You're flying backward. Back I went [clears throat]
back to the beginning.
Yeah, then I'm fine.
Yeah. No, you're in the pit, my guy.
Oh, man. Come on. Let me get off the board.
Fall off the edge. This everything outside the map is the void.
That is true.
And we're here.
Oh, yeah. And then I guess I will shoot uh
All right. Me.
Good.
Okay. What the hell?
Good. This is some bull crap. Good.
All right.
I don't miss.
Oh, okay. So, my medium gets this. My little battery discharge.
It's front right.
It's front right. It would be great. If it's back, it's bad.
Hilarious.
Front left. You lucky dog.
Could have could have had my battery fly out of my car and bust you up.
Um, well, it seems like um we're gonna go I'll do this. I'll shoot first.
Ask questions later.
I will. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I will try and shoot. Jimmy doesn't have dinner. I'll try and shoot this one.
It's my birthday.
Got my birthday.
My birthday.
Birthday. Blast off.
Let's do it.
Pop off, King. Pop off.
Dance.
Just a quick I do believe you have to do this first.
Yes.
So, just a reminder.
Um, okay. Then I'm going to go two. I'm going to go
Oh, man. and taking on the big dog.
Let's see what happens.
That's a slammo right there.
So again, so Jimmy can
force me to reroll this once if you would like. So it's going to be you. It'll be up to the uplift. Would you like me to roll the car die?
Uh so that would put me on the rubble.
Yeah.
I got put you here [clears throat] in front of the rubble.
Rubble wouldn't hurt your big car as of right now,
but rubble is technically not road. Yeah.
Yeah. So before go the bump it
top card. Okay. So it's me.
There we go. I wanted that to happen.
Cool.
Honestly, I was hoping I landed here and then I got damaged.
Hey, man.
That's how I am in this game.
It's a beauty. You're You're in it for the story.
Yeah, I'm really in it for the lore, honestly.
All right, Mike.
Um, okay. I think I'll missile. Man, all y'all cards out here. That is accurate, Mike. All right, I'm gonna aim for Nick's medium. Should be in the pit. I'm gonna go right there.
Right in the pit.
Get in the pit. Trying to love someone.
Yep.
Your medium's getting blasted, man.
Boom.
All right. So, I'm just getting
back into the back to the right.
I'm s
All right. And then I will move my big dog. Um gosh, there's [snorts] a lot of stuff on the way in there. I'm going to go one, two,
proud of you, dude.
The road omni jump. Let's
go. All right. All right. So, I'm going straight. Whatever.
This is perfect. Yeah.
Let's go.
T three. Four. And I was on the road the whole time, baby. Let's go.
No. Is this road?
You don't think so? Fine. It's literally sandy.
Well, it's jumpy if anything. Jump is road.
Jump is road and thunder.
That was sick though, dude. Y'all saw me just race for just this freaking this Honda Odyssey
like, oh my god.
Oh my gosh. Is that a minivan?
Uh, all right. That's the end of the first round. E.
All right.
I think we're all live still. Nick's a little busted up. I'm a little busted up. Nick's a little busted up.
That's going to be all right.
All right. Next round. So, I'm going to be first player
now. Nick is the youngest.
That's right. Nick and the baby. All right. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. So, I feel like a woman. Okay. Sorry. Um, excuse me. I know what you should do. I'm gonna do this, Mike. I'm gonna go do it to it, Lars. I know exactly. I know exactly what you're doing.
Yeah, you're going off that jumping off that jump.
So, when you come back on the board, you get rid of any damage. We'll kind of put that. We'll shuffle that back there if we need to. Um, so I'm using the um uh jump start special ability, which basically means normally when you come back from a pit, you just stop there. But in this case, I could just kind of go normally. So, I'm gonna go bam and move five and go one,
four.
Two, three, four.
Boom.
Oh, you don't want to go over the hazard. You want the slam.
Oh, I know. So, yeah. Well, hold on. So, one, two, no, cuz I have to go four. One, two, three, four. I have to I literally landing on top.
I was like, just got done with my jump then just like
a second Honda Odyssey has has jumped onto the scene. That's actually a bummer because I could have moved. You're queued up to
I could have moved like three more. I know. Oh well, this is funnier.
This is really all I care about. All right, so up and we're going to go. Okay, so the top one and because we're both the same size, no re-rolling and I have to go on that rope here. Luckily, I don't have any damage. So,
boom. All right, that's me.
H Mikey's like, I know exactly what next to. And you're like, yes, you do.
I was like, you're going to jump start and go off that jump because
why not?
That's a true jump.
Look how far it is up here, you know. Um, oh, I wouldn't be able to do is that I could technically shoot, but I have nothing on my front arc, too. This is my most forward. Would we agree this is my most forward vehicle? It
is your most forward.
All right, I'm going to do my my little thingabob here. Bam. And I'm going to stunt it. We're going to slipstream my big dog. My van.
Two. Kata. Okay. And then let's just let's just run it. Five. One, two, three, four. I'm not scared.
Your commitment to hit every single one of those. Oh yeah.
I was like right here. This is where you're going to go. This is where we're going to go. This go
danger zone.
Okay. Into the wall. You're dead.
You went to cross a barrier, right? Yeah.
Did I?
Oh, I don't know if you did actually. No, because this would be the barrier is just here. I think I just saw I start eating it.
Oh, Michael.
That's a real danger zone right there.
This is not good. Yeah. Everything is
the water park up here.
Yes. Just
the decrepit the rocketude. Here comes my small.
It's a wee.
One, two, three, four.
This is why Jimmy wins games is cuz I would have just slammed straight into that.
Let's see it.
Let's go, baby.
Okay. So, now to note, you came this way. So, you're going to keep You're going to roll that green dye and you're going to keep moving this away.
But am I going to jump this?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. But you need a two though
so I don't go off the board.
Well, because you land a one, you're land right.
Yeah, you specifically need a two
or else you're going to die. I'm
not going to lie, Jimmy, you dead. You're dead if you don't.
God, I'm surprised.
He's gonna do it. He's going to do it.
It's my birthday. It's your birthday.
But I did take Where was this one? Oh,
you squared.
Yeah.
So, Jimmy, [screaming] yeah, I'll let you you uh narrate what happens here. So you hit that
highway TO THE [screaming]
AND IT LANDS ON THIS PIT.
YEAH, RIGHT. If you get to that pit, then it works.
I fell into the pit.
It's just currently on fire.
Me on the pit.
Now we know.
God, I'm so proud of you, Jimmy. That's exactly what you should have done.
I love
Ironically, if I just done If I just gone here and done that, then
now who's be brave to hit this thing straight and just try and get past all that?
That would have been one, two, three, one or three. I like those eyes. I love it so much. All right, me. Okay, y
So, uh, we're do my big dog.
Um, let's go. Let's go with my small.
Jimmy is a he.
So, I don't have any damage, so I'm fine here. So, it's one, two, three, four. This isn't my front arc, so I'll shoot at Mikey's medium carav. And I did have to go off the road so I don't get that extra movement.
Medium.
I am a medium.
Oh, and you d
I'm about to blow up, baby. But we gonna blast off.
I'm so proud of you.
This is just for fun because I'm going to the pit. But let's just see what would happen.
We could slam. So it could matter, right?
True.
I'm going boom boom. So I was on toasted,
but I'm double dead now. All right. I'm on the pit. Hang on. That's all the way back there.
On the pier.
Bummer. All right. Uh, that was me.
Um, how do I get my revenge? Well, I haven't moved them yet. So
yeah, you can come back onto the board. Yeah, the bummer is since I already used my command, I won't be able to jump start. So, if I move on the board, I won't be able to move or shoot. You know what? But I am going to do that. I'm going to throw a three down here. And I'm just going to go right here. So, I'm back on the back on the board.
All right.
Y um I guess I will do I'll do a slipstream. Okay. Slipstream. And then I'll move my medium 3Dium. So go one, two, three. And then I was on the road the whole time, so I go plus one.
Oh, you did a drift
or sorry. Yeah, drift.
Sorry.
Good. Cool. Awesome.
So drift allows you to ignore your first slam, which is very useful. So use it. Medium is I think I'm just going to end up kind of around my own people.
One, two. Of course.
God, it's too bad. Oh, I just killed myself. Nick, I'm the one who goes on the hazard spot.
Why did you make me do that? [singing]
You join me in the pit.
Okay. Why did you make me do that?
I thought it was hilarious.
Why did you make me believe my own?
That was nobody beat my own blood. Dang it. That's so silly.
Uh, all right. I'm going to move two. I'm going to go one, two, and with my road bonus. Boom. And I'm gonna shoot at Jimmy.
Shoot.
Birthday. This go.
Well, luckily crossed the line. So,
yeah, that's actually really good.
That was my That was why I was being cautious like, "Oh, at least I didn't get set back at all." Right. Because you were on that spot you'll uh enter into next time.
All right. Bring your big dog.
I'm going to do
get that bait truck a scoop.
One, two, three, and then four.
Yeah. Yeah. Rolling. Rolling. Rolling.
And then
Okay. So, bottom
bottom going. You don't want to reroll that
cuz again you're the bigger car so you could choose to reroll this but it's moving me so
but it's but it's moving forward though
and then you can shoot it.
That's true.
Yeah, sure.
Okay. So it's moving one but it's Yeah, it is a small. It's going to be
you've been rolling pretty good on the shots I feel like.
But in my my drives
there it is.
Large at heart.
No large.
I did think about switching because like well then I'd be one space ahead.
Yeah. Right. if you'd rolled the Yeah, it's true. Okay,
all righty.
R- rolling.
Very annoying that y'all made me hit that hazard.
Hey man, [sighs] you made your bed. Um, okay. Let's do I'm the first player now and I will start off moving [clears throat] my Oh, that's my medium rather. My medium car. One, two, three with a road bonus is four. Bam. And I'm gonna shoot at Jimmy. Yeah. Oh, baby. Damage.
Birthdays mean nothing to the dent.
Well, just a dent,
man.
Let me blast off.
I know, right? Trying to blast off. Uh, all right, Jimmy. What do you reckon?
Yay. I'm going wreck some cars. Um, I'll put my two and I'll going to jump start it.
I'm going to jump start I'll jump start my small car.
Okay. Um, let's do
these spots and then you'll be able to sign your movement as normal.
Yep. And now you can just move normally.
Five one, two, three, four.
So you immediately have to
Well, slick
hit that omni jump.
Oh, four. [groaning]
And do I get my plus movement still for being on the road the whole time?
Well, so that that's oil slick move. It doesn't count as your movement. So you still have one more movement and then yes, you would get your
And then Yeah,
nice. That worked out beautifying move is technically a free movement. Got to be great.
I want this to go straight into there so badly.
Amen.
I want it to be me
in a perfect world. I want it to be me.
You right now, Nick. What are you going to do?
I don't know if I can get there.
Not with that attitude.
Oh, I sure can. You better believe I'm doing it. Um, I'm going to go one, two, three, four, five. But I was on road the whole time. Six. Look, this is all strats. Watch it.
Okay, that's fine. Still making progress.
That's great. It's not exactly what I wanted to happen. I wanted to go off the board, but that's fine.
I was like, couldn't you You could have gone. You could have made the same jump I made.
I could, but I want I wanted to oil slick into the jump. I see.
Cuz I think that's funny.
Yeah.
So,
uh, okay. I'm going to do this and I'm going to do my slipstream here and get some movement for my small car.
All right. Be one, two, three.
Nice.
Getting close again. You need two cars out past the finish line there. So, I mean, my D is technically in the lead, I guess. Kill him. I'm going to go Lorge and in charge. And I'm going to go one, two, three, four. I'm not There's never I've never met a hazard I didn't want to meet. Oh, god dang.
All right. Minefield.
You're going to blast off right across that fence line, dude.
I'm a little dazed. Okay. I'm a little dazed and confused. [clears throat] Four. Please roll four.
So, first I roll this two and I have to roll this two times. Let's just go forward and forward.
Back.
Hit the mine again. Hit the mine again.
At least you only go there.
That's hilarious.
What was your second?
Dang. All right. Yeah, I got I got blasted.
Outstanding. But at least you're at that pit.
Yeah, it's not too bad.
Not too bad. It's just a fresh restart, you know.
Hilarious.
That's outstanding. Um, I'm just gonna go four. One, two, three. If I do this, you're still in my front arc. I could slam into you. I need to I need to actually play the game. I will shoot here. Try to get out small. Boo. All right, that's me. Did we skip? We skipped Jimmy. You guys skip Jimmy. Yeah.
Jimmy, I What? What are you doing? See, I didn't even try to shoot. It's fine. dice if you like.
One, two, three, four. Fang
slamming. Now Jimmy's got a taste for the slams. See, it's so good. You getting D of this. Hey, we get some grand slams.
All right,
that's good. It goes back. Oh, yeah, dude. Let's go.
Oh, man.
No.
Strategic slamming into shooting is a vibe. Well done. All right. Nice. I see you're shooting at me. No,
I can't shoot you.
This is you.
Oh, I thought it was the other way around. My bad. No, you're good. Right. We're right.
I know the odds of me hitting this tiny car. That's true.
Here's the thing. I did definitely didn't actually shoot. So,
move negative space. Or can you shoot before you move?
No, it's after you move. Yeah, you have to do this. This then move then shoot.
All right. So, now you went now. It's back to me, right?
No, now I have to go. I definitely didn't skip.
Um, so Oh, you're going to slam into me now.
He just slammed all the way back to the beginning.
One, two, three. Yeah, dude. Honestly, I'm going to try and crowd surf.
I'm just trying TO GET TO WORK.
WHAT IF I crowd surfed into the oilless leak into a jump? God, that'd be great. Why not crowd surf onto yourself?
I don't think I can, but that's what honestly it is. Okay, so let's see. So, it's going to be the top car going forward to the right, which would be here. So, I'm going to reroll this.
Yeah,
because it'd be funnier to throw Mike in there. Okay, it's me.
Hello. Is that
Yeah, this is impassible. So, this double yellow line just like impassible. I've landed a junkyard. [snorts] I fell into the pit.
I fell here in the pit. That was unfortunate. That was a bad It's going great.
All right, I'm going to move here and I am going to go [sighs and gasps] I have to go this way.
You could go die. That's a road bonus of one, which means I can't shoot a Jimmy, which is a bummer.
But you're set up to go on that ramp.
Oh, you know I'm gonna, baby. You know I'm gonna. Uh, so I can't shoot anyone. That's it for me.
No one's ever going to win this game. It's gonna be great.
All right. Uh, I will do this and I will bring out my
medium. Which one?
I'll go here.
Okay. Um, I will do the um I said chop shop. Check out chop shop expansion with a road bandana. Um the
drifting. Well, no. What's it called? Um jump start.
Uh and I'll jump start my medium card so I can actually move. Um God, this is great. So I'm gonna go one
and then land on Actually, I don't know if that's possible.
I don't think so. So, it'll be
You can shoot him.
Uh, but then I still get to move because that was um
You moved one, two, three more.
Yeah. Bump. So, no shooting for me, but I did get a little little sweet jump in.
All right. That's not a good roll.
That's not a great roll either. Um, all right, Jimmy.
Mr. Blast,
send me to space.
Uh, sure. Let's do it. I'm gonna go four.
Yeah.
See what happens.
I'm so surprised you, dude.
Cuz if it's road, which it is technically road slicking.
All right. Don't go, you know, don't go back and to the left. It's as simple as that.
Front and left. You're fine.
You're good.
Oh, Jimmy, you're skirting it. Love it. Here.
You're going front.
Oh, got it.
Yep. All right. You're still on road, man.
Although, now you're about to hit not road unless you hit that.
Can I go this way or No.
Yep. Oh, you could.
So, this is So, where we at? We're one, two.
That That doesn't count as your
Okay. So, one, two, two, three, four.
And then one more cuz you sit on road the whole time.
Oh, Jimmy's almost free. So,
we'll see what this is, though.
You could technically go around if
shot. Honestly, I hope it's an omni jump. And if it's an omni jump,
you're required to hit it.
Oh, yeah.
You have to get across the finish line by the omni jump.
You basically have to go like this way,
right?
All right, Nick. What you got?
Um I What do I want to do? So, boom. I'm so scared. Okay, I'm going to let's go three for my medium and we're going to go we're going to go one, two, easy.
Oh yeah, let's go.
This be a sick variant. Homebrew. You can shoot the hazards to reveal that.
Let's see. Okay, thank God.
Oh, slam a slam a jam a baby.
Let's go. And then you slam somebody into
I really hope I then hit Mike. I hit Mike and then I go forward. I hit the omni jump.
Yeah.
Come on.
Oh, dice. Let it happen, please.
Let it happen, please.
So, boring. Um, the bottom one. Do you want that to move, Mikey? That would put you I'm sorry, Jimmy. Right.
You can also have it reroll because you have the bigger car.
I mean, either way, uh, sure, reroll it.
Yeah, because it's worse happens is you have to do it anyway. So, right. Okay. All right. And that is And then I can shoot I'll shoot [snorts] trying to shoot Mikey's small car.
It's Jimmy's birthday.
Could have had it. Could have had it. Could have had it.
He would have killed me.
I know. I probably should have done that. I'm going to do a jump start so I can get my big dog on the road again. So, I will start here. And I have five movement. I'm gonna go one,
two, coward.
Uh, three, four, five. And I'll shoot a Jimmy small car. Yeah. Hey,
it's hard in small cars.
He's gonna blast
jumping over that.
Yes. Do it, Jimmy. Blast off.
This is a pretty good spot to blast.
If Will will this kill me or will it anywhere on that front board as well?
If you blast off into the winner circle, that's your that's your prerogative, man.
So, what do I need? I need three.
Three in a forwardish direction. Basically,
you're kind of safe no matter what. All right. That's not the right direction. I'm dead.
That's not
Jimmy. Hold on.
Two.
Yeah.
I I really wanted to see you just like with fireworks going douche douch. You're like
it's really not
There you go.
There's the front one. Yeah. It's really not the worst place to blast off.
Hold them separate.
Yeah. Right. Um All right. That's um Jimmy.
Oh, yeah. And I removed this cuz I came back from the pit.
Okay. Um, I guess. Well, I just moved that one, unfortunately. Um,
oh, you're small. Yeah, you can't bring them on.
Oh,
wait. Is there supposed to be a pit over here?
No. No, it's on the three and five
cuz it's got starter things there. So, I wasn't sure.
Yeah, cuz any of these boards can be in any order.
Got it. Um,
and they're all doublesided, which is fun.
And you can use these in Thunder Road Vendetta, and you can use cars from Thunder Road Vendetta and stuff in here.
Yeah. So that's a good time.
Okay, I will. This is going to be a
risky. There's not really like a good
Your your big car is in a weird spot.
Yeah, I think go around the other way, but one, two, three. Sure.
He's probably going to die, but one, two, three.
I mean, you get to reroll though, so
yeah, you kind of you have a little more control over your fate.
Send me forward. I want to go forward. Uh,
that'd be on the oil slick. Whoever goes there,
it's me.
All right, dude. This is perfect. You're you're trending the right direction.
Here you go. Go straight forward. Watch.
And then just the direction die.
I'm going to go into that ramp.
Do we go forward? Yeah. Let's go. Look at you.
Look at me.
Look at my open road in front of you a little bit.
God, I have such bad dice here. I don't really want to slam into Jimmy with my small car there because I'm probably gonna lose that fight. Um, so you know, I think I'm just gonna go just see what happens. I'm just going to go forward one. So, let's see what this is.
See what this is.
Nothing but baby.
Nothing but road me. [singing] All right, that's it for
Okay. Just hope I don't explode. Um, I'm just The thing is I couldn't be less worried about it.
Hell yeah, dude.
We're going here.
Yeah, dude.
If I hit one or three, I'm safe,
dude. That's like an 86, dude.
It's easy. Never tell me the odds. God dang it. I went one, two, three.
But does that mean you get to go to the other
forward?
That's progress,
right?
That's called
Honestly, that's strats. That's some advanced strats right there.
I'm sorry. Am I a genius?
All right, I'm going to shoot at Mike. I definitely had large.
Why?
Because it's so near the end. Are you missing? Yeah. Barely even killed you at all. Okay.
Get hit.
Blast off. Let's go. Okay. So, this is a skate. So, I'm going to go actually might be better. Oh, yeah. Might be a straight shot. Might be. All right, then. What's your Well, you didn't do your main. Uh,
I'll move my medium.
Um, I'll go slant
and then I'll shoot.
We have to go plus one if you're on the road.
Shoot that ramp.
Shoot it.
Just kind of changes the trajectory so you can fire off whatever.
All right, I'm going to do a um jump start so I can actually move my big dog. Where do I want to go? I kind of want to go around to be completely honest. So, I can move three. I'll go one, two, three. And then because I stayed on road the whole time, I do get to go here. Even though that last spot isn't road because I was on road the whole time.
My key.
Uh, okay. My medium. Bring it up the rear. I go. One, two, three, four. I can come up to here. One, two, three, four. Then five with a bonus road.
Um, and I'll take this. Shooting in a medium. Missed it. All right. All right, pass the first player gas can.
First player gas can do new band name.
Oh, Jimmy got the solid roll. I had a pretty good one, too.
I did not. Although, we're all kind of bunched up. It's like Mike out there and then the pit and then a whole bunch here. Um, oh man. Should I just
shoot, man?
She's that large.
He's got the He's got the rolls to get to the end.
Don't even worry. I barely barely.
Who's counting? You know,
um Yep. Miss it. Nope.
Baby, watch out. I don't think he can cuz he's dead.
Yep. Dang, that was my second damage.
Yeah. Um, you got two two of those ready to go in the last stretch.
All right. One, two, three. Man, I'm in such a weird spot. So, I'm going to go one, two, three. And I was on road the whole time, so I'll go four.
Mr. Batman,
Mr. Slamman,
show me your butt.
Blast on my car. I what do I want to do this? I think I'm gonna start by putting my large back on the road and I'm put it right here.
I'm not going to jump start. Okay.
All right. I'll do uh the jump start.
Where too, sir?
I'll go here.
I'll do five. I'll just go one, two, three, four.
Get those mines, coward.
Five.
Yep.
I dig it.
Um, all right. Me.
What? Oh god, this is such a My medium isn't just a meat grinder right now. Here's the thing. The only thing I can do is hit that oil so I can get into that jump. Or should I just go straight jump
could do
jumping this way.
Yeah, it's I mean I It's the same thing. I need a roll of two.
Well, you could land on me and then we see what happens.
Just see who goes there. Huh.
Yeah. If I If it was me and this isn't me, I would go into the oil slick.
That's what I That's what I was originally plenty more chances of surviving.
This is where I was planning. Yeah. So, I'm going to go one, two, play.
See where we end up. Nope.
Back on the jump.
Oh, back on the When I'm jumping backwards and you're going to land on yourself.
That might happen, too.
So, I'm jumping this direction. Yeah.
Shoot off.
Okay. Okay. That's not horrible.
Not the worst.
No,
that was Is that a jump or
could have been
went over a sly hill?
Yeah.
Here's at the start of that turn over a ramp. Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's see.
That could have been so much worse.
I can attest. Um, okay. I will go here and I'm going to jump start my small and get on the road so I can move six. We'll go one, two, three, four, five. [snorts] Let's go here.
Yeah.
Six.
Your me is also in a weird spot. [snorts]
Jump it.
Yeah, dude. I'm so proud of you. Basically, I don't want to do Actually, I'll do I'll do this one.
I did before. It's easy. You just need a one or a three. No big deal.
Well, honestly, if I get a four, it's not the worst thing.
So, basically, I just don't want a two.
Yeah. Anything but a two is grand. That's a great
100% chance that happens.
I have zero regrets.
There it is.
It's not the best outcome, but it's not the worst. Yeah,
I'm in a pretty good position.
That's not horrible.
I ain't mad.
I ain't mad at it. Okay.
You are on fire, but it's Oh, he going
that's it.
That's it. I rolled pretty bad.
Uh, right. Oh, okay. My medium. Bringing up the rear here.
Um. Oh. Oh, that's we all just going out this dang gym.
This jump has killed so many cars.
Unbeliev.
One, two, three. And then I'm just I want
again. One, three, or four is fine.
Three.
There it is. God, the worst of all. [screaming]
Why did I do that?
For the lols.
Is it y'all?
So dumb.
Like and subscribe. Look what we're doing for you for the entertainment.
That's the only bad so many times.
How many twos are on this live?
That was a bummer.
That's so I could have
You could have been so
could have been a contender.
You could have been a contender. Freaking Gary Buucy. Check him out. H. All right, Jimmy. Yo, big dog. Four.
Big house. Big house.
One, two, three. Oh, yeah.
There we go. This could not be super safe to try to crash a car right here. Super safe. Don't worry about it. Four. All right. But I will shoot at the spot.
That's fair. That's a good point.
Blast them.
Easy.
Missed it.
Um. All right.
Okay. Roll them out.
I need I need roller. Roll them. Roll them. Fake.
Let's go. Okay. At least I rolled some okay stuff, man. I've been rolling like straight buns. Straight buns.
Straight buns. New band name.
Straight buns games. Is that a good
rolling some hot buns?
We're constantly workshopping publisher names. Straight.
That's like It's like a That was my band in high school kind of thing. We're still publisher names,
right?
Was it Sad Monkey?
Sad Monkey was the last time we thought Sad Monkey games. Okay, let me calculate. All right, let's do it. We're gonna get the big the big rig going. Uh we're going to go one, two, three, four, five. Oh,
hell yeah. I feel like this will be fine.
Hang on.
He rolled it.
All right.
Bottom.
Bottom.
You want to reroll it or
cool with that? You'll go there.
It's not the whole
You go there and you like it. Uh, all [snorts] right. That's it for me in my first one here.
Okay.
Do I want to do what do I want to do?
Sure. I think so. I think it will be enough to win, but I'll do drift.
Oh, a good call.
Six.
One, two, three, four, five. You could have gone straight forward off that that off-road too. You don't have to be one vehicle off the road. You can put it by your uh dashboard there.
At least I can one step closer to victory, man.
Feel good about that.
That's good. That was very good. Yeah, that that slam lucky didn't really hurt you.
Nah,
cuz Yeah. I mean, I think Mike Well, you moved your your large, so yeah, that one's not going across, but the small will.
It it might do. I'm going to try to have it get across. Like I I don't know if there's I'm trying to think if there's a way that that could be deterred.
She can't.
Well, see what does
I'm going to go five with my small. I'm going to go one, two, three, four, five. Whatever happens happens, y'all.
This would be so brutal.
Big off the road. Top off the road. Go.
Dang it. No.
Oh, yeah. That is That'll do it.
I was like, "Oh, it's going to go into this." And I'm like, "Oh my gosh, you could insta death."
The bottom is me and it goes bump, which is
not good.
Death.
Dang it.
You haven't used them. So, you'll be able to get them all back on the board, but I was like,
"That hurts me in two ways cuz I was going to use my slipstream on the big guy here and hopefully get out or very close and then move my little one." So, now I've been one
twice. The needle one. The NAT one. Um,
the big one.
All right. Well, that was that was me. That's my story. I'm sticking to it.
All right,
let's jump start getting back on the road.
On the road again.
Uh, I'm going to go one. I'm not afraid slick.
Not afraid of no slick.
Oh, even better for you. A baby or two or three or four or five. And I've been on the road the whole time. I'm just going to go keep it.
It feels safe. Bit of rubble. Bit of rubble.
That's fine. That is very good to know because that's one of the things like you're like what is that thing? It could be a mine. It could even be a boat.
It could even be a boat. Look at you, Mike. You're right where you started.
Kind of.
All righty.
You had to stop and pit first.
I had plans. I had to get my tires right.
Here we go. Six. One, two, three, four.
You have to slam somebody.
Five. Six.
You always have to go your full movement. You can't decide not to. So
Oh, yeah. Whoop.
My faith is in your hand,
right? And I get to roll twice. So
technically top.
Okay. So this wouldn't be the worst.
Wouldn't be the worst outcome. I could shoot you.
But but it's a small, so the odds of doing that. All right. So I'm going to
might as well have him move back if you can.
It's happening anyway.
Fine. Guns it is. Guns and chips. Sorry.
Small small small. There it is. [screaming] killing me.
Got him.
It is a one in six chance to hit a small. It's It's quite difficult.
Yeah.
Okay. What am I doing? Um I think I'm going to slipstream my big hos.
Just try and get down the road. All right.
Give me a I'll take a three.
Nice.
Um and then I'll go four. One, two, I'll go four.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this morass right here.
All right. Jason Morass,
I can only get back on the road, but I can't move. So, I'm going right there.
I will only get this back on the road.
Here's the thing. My medium is so far behind. Might as well hit that jump. I mean,
we're not we're not yet. I got my turn, y'all.
We're just We're just getting ready.
I got my turn.
So, I'm hitting one.
As you said, your medium so irrelevant.
Hey,
in the slick.
In the slick. See, I wanted to slick into the jump. I'll jump into the slick. That's fine.
Why not?
And easy. And I still need one more movement. So, boom.
Bam.
Look at that. That's progress, baby.
Quite a nice little turn.
Slick into the fire.
So, the good thing about this is Jimmy's first, but he is very his big dog is very pinned in.
But the good news is I do have I can drift out.
Oh, Jimmy's going to do it. Dang it.
I'm going to do a four Bangalore.
One, two. Dang it. Oh man.
So Jimmy uses his drift so he can annoy the first slam.
Ignore. No, I mean I guess I could have annoyed.
I said I took I said ignore which Okay.
You know. So yeah, ignore the first slam.
It's ignorement twist.
Dang. We're all pretty close though. That's the thing. Like
second.
Um no. Jimmy won. Jimmy one
seconds for known that the two of you conspired and like colluded and like Yeah. And I was going to crush everyone.
Birthday cancelled.
No birthday.
None.
No pizza party. Fine. We'll do a little bit of pizza party. We'll have a cake as well. Okay. Ice cream. Whatever. You deserve it. That was ultimately a close game of Thunder Road Ignition. Jimmy took it home.
Good for him, man. He did what he needed to do.
Good for him. Yeah, that was a just insane chaotic game as it should be. Again, big big shout out to Restoration Games. You can check them out down in the description below. If you're going to be at Gen Con, make sure to pick up some of that and pick up on the website as well.
