Gaslands: Refuelled is a board game released in 2019 for 2–8 players, 45–90 minutes per game, and ages 11 and up. It was designed by Mike Hutchinson and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Push Your Luck, and Dice Rolling.
A set of revised and expanded wargaming rules for the exceptionally popular post-apocalyptic vehicle game, Gaslands. Shoot, ram, skid, and loot your way through the ruins of civilization with Gaslands: Refuelled, the tabletop miniature wargame of post-apocalyptic vehicular mayhem. With all new material including expanded and enhanced perks, sponsors, vehicle types, and weapons. Gaslands: Refuelled contains everything a budding wasteland warrior needs to build and customize their fleet of vehicles in this harsh post-apocalyptic future. Featuring a host of options for scenarios, environmental effects, and campaigns, allowing players to create their anarchic future. Players race to get their vehicles through a series of makeshift gates to reach the finish line. Cars have to pass through the gates in the right order and the right direction, but the course is otherwise defined by the players, allowing for more flexibility. Each round is divided into six phases or "gears". Cars move forward by following a manoeuvre template on every phase with a number equal to or less than their current gear. A vehicle's gear determines which templates it can use, and therefore which manoeuvres it can perform, as well as affecting its other abilities. Combat and other effects are handled with a d6 dice roll; attackers hit on a result of 4+, while defenders cancel successful dice by rolling 6s.
Gaslands: Refuelled supports 2–8 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 Gaslands: Refuelled is 45–90 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 Gaslands: Refuelled for ages 11 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.
Gaslands: Refuelled has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-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.
