editEast Midville is a supplement with maps of two streets that expand the town of Midville, Ohio originally presented in the supplement Sunday Drivers.[1] The game also includes 31 vehicle counters, a rule book and several scenarios.[2]
Publication history
editIn 1981, SJG released the board wargame Car Wars, which proved popular. The company released several expansions for it, the third being East Midville, designed by Steve Jackson and released in 1983.[2]
Reception
editIn Issue 70 of The Space Gamer , Craig Sheeley commented "East Midville is a real bargain for the price, and the extra counters make it worth buying. And if you can find a 4' x 6' table to put them on, combine the maps from East Midville and Sunday Drivers for a mass shootout and running gunfight of epic proportions."[1]
The UK games magazine Imagine noted that "East Midville has two street maps that link with the Sunday Drivers map, making for a truly huge playing area."[3]
GeekDad commended this expansion for "providing even more areas ripe for destruction."[4]
