It is not affiliated with Osprey, Gaslands, Netflix, Hyperdrive or any other rights holders. Hyperdrive Gaslands aims to bring some of the fun of Hyperdrive to the tabletop using the Gaslands rules.

Overview Hyperdrive Gaslands uses the normal Gaslands rules, with the following changes: ●

No Gear Phases are used

●

Players count total number of moves (placing a movement template and completing a movement)

●

The player who moved the least number of times wins

●

There are no weapons

Vehicles Each player selects a performance car. You may choose whether you will use sponsors and cans to purchase perks etc. (The most obvious being Idris). No weapons are used in this scenario.

Track Setup Players create a track with obstacles using the print and play resources in this package and from your own collection. Obstacles and rules for them are outlined below. Players agree on what segments of the track will be played each round. It is beneficial to setup gates to mark each segment.

Order of Play Players roll off to see who goes first. Starting from the starting line, players take turns playing a full segment of the track, counting each time their vehicle moves. Once their

vehicle has made it to the end of the segment, they set their car off to the side and the next player takes their turn. Play continues until each player has completed the first segment, adding up each move completed. Once players have all completed the first segment, the first player places their care anywhere on the second segment starting line and plays through the second segment. Play continues until all of the players have completed all the segments of the course. Players then add up all of their moves and whoever has moved the fewest number of times, wins!

Vehicle Movement Vehicles move in the same way as in normal gaslands, with the following additions:

Drifting:: Players may use a Drifting

or

Reverse:: A vehicle in first gear can begin driving in reverse. During the second and Reverse following move actions, the player can shift up as normal, but stay in reverse. When the driver wishes to drive forward again, they must shift back down to gear 1 or perform a  J-Turn..  J-Turn

Obstacles Hyperdrive Gaslands pits players against each other as they compete for the ‘fastest’ time through the course. The challenges come in the form of obstacles that will test players abilities to maneuver their car in the best way possible. Drift Post  Post  Players must drive around a Drift Post. ( players  players can decide how many many times a player must drive around it ). ). Hitting the Drift Post = +5 moves.  moves.  Drift Targets  Targets  Players must attempt to drift and strike the targets with the back half of their vehicle. (see (see drifting on pg. 3). 3). Hitting the target with the wrong part of the car or missing the target = +5 moves. Manji Alley Players must enter a narrow lane and drift side to side to strike a variety of targets with the back half of their vehicle. Hitting the target with the wrong part of the car or missing the target = +5 moves. Supernova Players must enter one end of Supernova facing one direction, spin 180 degrees and come out the other end of Supernova facing the opposite direction. Each time a movement template or vehicle’s final position touches the light posts outlining the Supernova obstacle, a player receives +1 move to their movement total. If a player exits anywhere but the opposite end of the Supernova obstacle, they receive +5 moves to their total. (If a vehicle is touching light posts, but is still partially in the funnel of the Supernova as it exits, the vehicle is considered to have exited correctly and does not take the +5 moves).  moves).

The Leveler  Leveler  Players must attempt to drive as quickly as possible to the end of The Leveler and then shift into gear 1. Once the player has shifted their vehicle into gear one and moved as far as they can up The Leveler, they add the number of moves indicated in the coloured bars that their vehicle is overlapping. Then them may lower the leveler to connect to the next section of track and continue their turn. (If (If the vehicle moves past the end of The Leveler, it is destroyed ))..

The water counts as a treacherous surface (If any part of a vehicle’s movement temp template late or Final Position (after resolving all Skid Dice) overlaps a Treacherous Surface, the vehicle gains 2 Hazard Tokens at the end of its Movement Step.)
