Life on the road means relying on quick wits, mad skills, and a bit of luck to get there in one piece. Road Hog: Rule the Road captures the rolling shark tank that is our modern highway system where players shamelessly compete with each other in an infuriating race to be the first car off the exit to win.

The board is set up by placing seven road tiles. Players have a hand of three cards and use two dice to manipulate the traffic vehicles and move their own vehicle toward the exit. Cards are played to provide extra movement, move other vehicles, steal other players' cards, and create various other effects to attempt to jockey into first place.
