About the game
Demolition Derby on a small hex grid. Players have six cars each and roll dice to smash vehicles off the board. Published in 1992 as Crash! by Franjos and in 2007 as Manoover by Kadon. The published versions do not accommodate 3 players. Kadon has, by special order, a 2-sided gameboard that has the 2 player board on one side and the 3 player board on the reverse. (It comes with enough pieces for the three player game, of course.)
Questions and answers
Crash! supports 2–3 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Crash! is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Crash! for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Crash! has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Crash! belongs to these categories: Abstract Strategy. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Crash! and want something comparable for your next game night.
The credited designers of Crash! are: Don O'Brien. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
