Motorcycle Warrior!
A downloadable game
Motorcycle Warrior! is a game about claiming gang turf in secret, then engaging in high stakes motorcycle duels that can end in instant victory or defeat.
3-6 players are recommended in this free for all, motorcycle romp with a side of high school drama!
The Setting
The Tokyo of the future is rough for a teen.
By day, you attend Central High. It's a mega school where all of you are crowded together. Class sizes are as low as 60, if you're lucky. Because you’re a badass you don’t need to worry about bullies, but you can’t say the same thing about your friends from your side of town. With conflicting class schedules and a 60 story high school, it’s hard to keep them all safe.
By night, you take to the streets. People take their grudges from school and try to take them out in person. You have a weapon and a bike. You, and everyone of your friends have formed a gang and you take the streets to keep your turf safe, and the others out. With other biker gangs out there causing trouble, it's time to send a message.
The Mechanics
There are two distinct phases. School time, where you attend class and earn valuble knowledge that can help you with the fights ahead!
At night you duel/race other players to settle who owns what you have both claimed.
In duels, you start at second gear (two dice) and wrestle to shift up in gear, or dive in for attacks. Careful though, the higher the gear the higher your chances of stalling out or worse, crashing!
Different Editions?
Motorcycle warrior has two editions, both of which are on this page! No need to go anywhere else.
The Jam edition was made in about four days and gets the basic ideas across. This is free!
1st Edition has gone through a lot of refinement. The core ideas from the Jam edition remain, but all aspects are polished! Duels are fast and compelling! School has you wrestling for the top spot in each class for any benefit you can muster! 1st Edition is available to anyone who paid $5 or more.
Quick Disclaimer: This game is not actually localized from Japan, but it hits the vibes so well! Please just pretend!

Hi! Mechanics wise, is it “D6 tables for Maneuvers and Events”, “You’ve got 2 stats, Crush and Zigzag”, “Vehicle stats porn”, or?
Hi there! Thanks for showing interest. Its got some strategy board game DNA in it.
There are two distinct phases. School time, where you roll on an event table, form accidental alliances, gain weapons, and sabotage others etc. Then you secretly claim territory on your map..
At night you duel/race other players to settle who owns what you have both claimed.
In duels, you roll a large dice pool. Think of this as your speed!
Then you take turns pulling tricks that manipulate your dice to greater speeds, or attacks that manipulate your enemy's dice.
The loser erases the contested claims from their map. If you lose your home territory, you've been eliminated from the game.
I'll be adding another page to the previews that should add some additional context.
Thank you, that’s neat! I didn’t expect the dice pool transactions, great idea.
Hi DeReel,
Upon some reflection, I've made the Jam edition free, so you can take a more direct look at the initial mechanics.
There is a revised 1st edition that is paid for. It has all the core themes, but the gameplay is significantly improved.
Thanks again. I’m adding the game to my “design survey” list!
