Urr, SJG already re-released Car Wars upgraded to Hot Wheels scale 10 years ago. It was so bad that you probably never heard of it.

As much as I support Kickstarter, I find the Ogre KS very disheartening. There are other KS games — even other retail games — with custom-molded plastic pieces and nicer components that retail for far less money. All of SJG’s promises for upgrades are just that — promises. From a company that fumbled the Ogre Renaissance of the 1990s. If one game might pop the KS bubble, it might be Ogre.

The $1 billion stretch goal has Steve building an actual Ogre.

Yes, SJG re-released some very basic rules for Car Wars upgraded to Hot Wheels scale (5th Edition), but never released the Vehicle Design System, so you couldn’t design your own vehicles, thereby negating the entire point of the exercise.

Bastards.

(I have a reverse-engineered spreadsheet, though.)

At the risk of being a pedant – I think you mean 19th C New York. But the game itself sounds cool.
