Haulin’ Oats is a board game about truck driving, the US highways, and oatmeal. Four players compete to deliver their cargo then return to the warehouse while avoiding various dangers along the way. Take part in sabotage, races, curses, and more to get the upper-hand.

## About This Game

This is a game about truck driving, the US highways, and oatmeal. During your
time as a truck driver for the Starkham Oatmeal company, you will be tasked
with delivering crates of delicious oats to the local grocery store. The roads
are fraught with dangers, as well as delights, so be sure to take along a
trusty co-pilot and / or pet.

Arranged as a digital board game, you will encounter a wide variety of
characters and obstacles ranging from drug cartels, bike gangs, random
maniacs, pop stars, police, serial killers, and the few folk that aren’t
completely crazy. Make your way around the board and collect your wages every
time you complete a delivery then return to the warehouse. Use it to buy spare
parts for your truck, the favor of lot lizards, or sometimes bribe your way
out of trouble.

When you start a game, each player will get to choose one of eight different
drivers; with three locked by default. Each has two strengths and weaknesses,
like bonuses to truck ramming checks or penalties to dealing with the law. Mix
and match the different drivers with co-pilots and pets to get the upper hand
against your opponents.

Just like the drivers, each co-pilot and pet has one different benefit and
disadvantage. If you get a bad Incident card draw, you might just accidentally
leave ’em at a truck stop somewhere for an opponent to scoop up. If none suit
your play style, you can choose to play without one if you want.

Special guest characters (drivers, co-pilots, and pets) can be unlocked
through different quests or by doing certain things a bunch.

Old friends from our previous games make an appearance as well. One cannot go
through Starkham without seeing familiar faces like Bill Finnigan or Aloysius.
They are sometimes found in Encounter or Incident decks. Depending on who you
find, they may have a mission for you or an item to barter.

There are a lot of other characters as well. Scattered throughout the
Incident, Encounter, and Resource decks various characters await you, either
to rob you blind or give you mini-quests to complete. Heck, some might just
need something as simple as a ride down the highway a bit or a wee bit of your
money.
