About the game

What is Highway 2000

"A game of automobile conflict in the 21st century"

People create their cars and fill out Vehicle Control Sheets, then pick a scenario (all of which take place on a 5-lane highway) and start attacking each other. Players normally take one car each, or a cycle pack, picked randomly with a die roll on the encounter chart. (Used for generating random traffic.)

Mechanics are a lot simpler than most games of this type - movement is composed of making lane changes and moving forward based on your speed. Acceleration/deceleration and movement is plotted secretly, then simultaneously revealed - each turn each car will move one space forwards or sideways for each 10 MPH of speed, broken up into four phases. (Scale is 20 feet per square.)

Only one car (or two motorcycles) is allowed per square - if two cars try to move together they 'bump' and start rolling for critical damage. Players can roll to make 'emergency' changes to their plotted movement (which is restricted, for example a 'right' move can never be changed into a 'left' move.)
