About this game

Sand Slicers is a high-speed sci-fi racing board game of speed, danger, and survival. Players pilot powerful twin-engine Slicers across the brutal Scorchbelt, pushing unstable machines far beyond safe operating limits in pursuit of victory. Each round, racers choose how aggressively to drive using a push-your-luck dice system that balances movement, repairs, and escalating mechanical stress. Aggressive movement creates opportunities for dramatic passes and spectacular finishes, but rising engine stress can quickly spiral into catastrophic failure. Tracks are filled with environmental hazards, violent collisions, and wrecked Slicers left behind by less fortunate racers. Emergency FIXR systems and desperate repairs may keep a damaged machine alive long enough to reach the finish line — if it holds together. You will fight for position, manage damage, control rising heat, and decide when to push your machine beyond its limits. Every lap is a balance between speed and survival. Every decision pushes your machine closer to victory… or catastrophe. -description from designer
