About the game
Experience new game play on dirt, asphalt, snow, and combination stages! Rallyman: Dirt, produced in an edition of 1,500 copies, adds new terrain to the Rallyman basic game and requires the basic game to play. Dirt rallies are characterized by sliding, double down shifting, track sweeping, river crossings, and new tire choices – soft tires and gravel tires – to help you improve lap times. These tracks will require all your skills with the Micro Rally Car to be mastered! Rallyman: Dirt Light is a components-only edition released after the full version sold out. No box or rule book, but otherwise identical.

Questions and answers
Rallyman: Dirt supports 1–4 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 Rallyman: Dirt is 45 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 Rallyman: Dirt for ages 9 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.
Rallyman: Dirt has a complexity rating of 2.3 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.
Rallyman: Dirt belongs to these categories: Racing and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Modular Board, and Simulation. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Rallyman: Dirt are: Jean-Christophe Bouvier.

The catalogue lists Rallyman: Dirt as an expansion for Rallyman. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Rallyman to use it. Check that your edition of Rallyman is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
