Join the Smog Riders as they plunge into twisted realms where steam, smog, and madness collide.
The Smog Riders - Dimensions of Madness is a game for two to four players, in which each player controls a group of unique characters competing against each other for the control of steam technology and the occult secrets of the Stygian Dimension.
During the game, each player’s characters are pitted against the characters of each of the other players and against the dangers lurking in the dark and mysterious Stygian Dimension. Successfully completing each mission, finding powerful artifacts, and eliminating rivals will earn each player points to gain victory over the others. During play, the characters will have to stay in a state of readiness, adapt, and use the changing environment to overcome their enemies. Only those who put the environment to proper use will become real Smog Riders!
The first step in starting a game is to make up the teams. Up to 4 different teams can be formed. Each game always has two sides, the attackers and the de- fender. The attackers will always be members of the same faction or side (either the Commonsteam Alliance or the Abyssal Empire), and the defender will be the other side. For two players, one player will be the attacker and the other the defender, but for 3 or 4 players, one player will be the defender and the rest will be the attackers.
Each team of attackers always consists of 3 characters, but all the characters on his side will be available to the defender throughout play.
Each of the characters in The Smog Riders - Dimensions of Madness is unique, with its own different attributes and special abilities. Players should take this into consideration when choosing their characters.
The scenarios represent different missions that will have to be performed by the Smog Riders in their struggle to master the power of steam. Each scenario description contains several sections on setting up the game board.
Character cards have two profiles depending on whether the character is played as an Attacker or a Defender. The Smog Riders - Dimensions of Madness is played on a game board consisting of various tiles arranged together according to the scenario map. These tiles represent the factories of each of the sides and also the dark corridors of the Stygian Dimension. Each tile is divided into various equal squares. A square may be occupied by only one character.

You can play all missions choosing the board that represents Commonsteam headquarters or the Abyssal Empire’s Lair, depending on who will be playing the attacking side and who the defending side.
