# Faster, Pussycat. Kill, Kill
*Created:* 2026-11-06
THW's racing games, named for the Russ Meyer film because a line about cars trying to kill each other deserves a title that unhinged.
## Setting
Wasteland circuits and stock-car ovals — the same boardless pack-of-cars idea, repainted for two very different kinds of crowd.
## Mechanics
**Machinas** swaps the reaction table for a card-built racing engine; **Win or Go Home!** runs the same pack-of-cars logic on the oval. Neither is a wargame with cars bolted on — the race *is* the game.
## The Games
- **[[Machinas]]** (2014) — Post-apocalyptic death racing in the wasteland, the engine built out of cards.
- **[[Win or Go Home!]]** (2016) — The stock-car corner: same bones, cleaner asphalt.
