A deck-building rally racing game where dice determine how well your car actually handles.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy heavier, mechanically dense games with deck-building and dice manipulation layered on a racing theme.
Not for you if…
You want something light or quick to pick up — this is a high-complexity game with real rules overhead before it clicks.
Vibe's take
Demanding and mechanical in the best way — you're constantly balancing card choices with dice outcomes, and every stage change forces new adjustments to how you drive.
Dirt & Dust puts you in the seat of a rally driver, racing through a sequence of increasingly demanding stages. You start with a small hand of basic action and pilot cards, then build out your deck over the campaign with cards that fine-tune your car — adjusting dampers, tire pressure, and differential settings — while dice rolls determine how well you actually execute each maneuver. The stages escalate from a coastal road to tight city streets, mountain passes, forests, and even night racing, blending deck-building with dice placement as you chase the best time on each track.
