How about extending your car warranty?
To set the correct expectations it is worth noting that the game is based on a board game called Death Roads: All Stars that has been adapted to be a single player digital game. The player participates in a post-apocalyptic (the moon crashed into the Earth) TV game where they start at the west side of the USA and need to make it to the east side while battling mobs and other competitors (mini bosses) and at the end there is a boss battle. The game is a roguelike and if the player’s vehicle is destroyed they need to start a new run but the failed run might help with unlocking new vehicles and drivers. The game loop is similar to FTL: choose a path from one city to another and while on the road face combat encounters and random events. The city might have a garage to repair vehicle damage or a chop shop to buy and sell parts. And then repeat. In essence the game is a deck builder where the driver and each vehicle part have their own set of cards and combined they form the combat deck similar to Trials of Fire. There are also items that are not part of the deck that provide a small bonus if a particular requirement is met. The starter parts are pretty underwhelming, especially the tires since they only have turn left and turn right options but during the course of the game better parts will be acquired which will provide cards with much more functionality. There are a couple of obvious builds: making a nimble vehicle that can easily maneuver or a tank build with not much mobility but that can absorb damage and hits hard. The deck building and the card synergies are not very complex and that's a plus for me. The negatives: the battles can get a bit samey and the random events are uninspired. I’m quite happy with the game. In the right circumstances if you play your cards well you can set up a combo to bump into multiple enemies then appear behind them and spray them with the machine gun or push an enemy into an incoming obstacle. It can feel pretty satisfying
