As an update to the “Roadmaster!” post… I’d gotten some questions about “And what is ‘Wood Wagon’? How do you play that?” And here, I thought everybody knew this one…

So, we present:

WOOD WAGON!

Ideal for highway trips, commutes, and spins around the block, the basic rules to “Wood Wagon!” are:

• A wood wagon is defined as any vehicle with wood of that wood-ish-looking fiberglass stuff as part of the body.
• Each Wood Wagon is worth 1 point
• An erroneously called Wood Wagon docks you -1 point
• All contenders must be present in the vehicle during play and the winner is decided by whomever has the most points at the end of the trip.

CLARIFICATIONS, CAVEATS, AND ERRATA

• The “wood” must be part of the body of the vehicle. So…
• Something like a stake bed would be OK:
  
• But a semi hauling logs would not be OK:
  
• A “Wood Wagon!” call has a value of 3 points when played in combination with “Buick!” Points are cumulative.
• Since so many wood wagons are “late model”, some groups may optionally wish to double point values on “new” wood wagons (e.g., a woodied PT Cruiser)
