So many of us love the Fast & Furious franchise precisely because it is equal parts earnest and absolutely batshit. I’ve collected some tabletop role playing games (and one board game!) that are perfect for playing out life on the fringes of society, with nothing but a car and your family to hold you together.

A Quarter Mile at a Time

A Quarter Mile at a Time

A Quarter Mile at a Time is a game about surviving the post-post-apocalypse with nothing but a sick ass set of wheels, a snarl on your face and a gleam in your eye, and your found family. All you need to play this game is a handful of d6s and a few people to play with. This game has the head of the Fast and the Furious, the body of Mad Max: Fury Road, and the soul of Cyberpunk 2020. Use it to tell stories that are goofy and gonzo, earnest and heartfelt, or any/everything else.”

There’s truly a no film franchise quite like Fast & Furious, probably for good reason. We know that there’s still more story to tell, since Fast X is split into a two-part finale. While you’re waiting to see how it all ends, play some games with your friends and family, maybe?
