Ares Games Dirt & Dust 1-4 players, ages 14+, 60-90 minutes

Dirt & Dust throws you into the high-octane world of rally racing, where strategy meets speed. Assemble a top-notch support team, fine-tune your car to perfection, and make split-second decisions to conquer challenging tracks. Every choice matters as you push the limits, balancing precision and risk in pursuit of victory. Do you have the skill, nerve, and determination to leave your rivals in the dust and claim the ultimate glory? The race is on — let the adrenaline flow! Players start with a basic action deck and a unique pilot, then acquire more cards throughout the game to tune their vehicle and improve performance. You’ll manage suspension settings, adjust tire pressure, and tweak the differential—all through a clever system of deck-building and dice placement. Actions are activated based on which dice slot they’re linked to, and driving style choices—fast or cautious—further impact the effects of each card. Stages take you from scenic coastal roads and tight city circuits to shaded forest trails, mountain curves, and the thrill of night racing. With diverse terrain and mechanical depth, Dirt & Dust offers a fresh and immersive experience. Designed by Kutn Hora co-creator Petr Č slava, this is rally as you’ve never played it before: intense, technical, and surprisingly tactical.
