yeah definately pricey in general really
If i won the lotto, i'd have a fully lit 3d board for this game lol
One issue I could see with 3D cars is that the KickStart game-play video showed the cop car with four circles on it, which I'm assuming are 'seats' for the survivors to be placed on - how would you represent the same thing?
Well assuming you don't have too many cars on the table, you could simply remove a character when they enter the 3d car on the board, and place them on the corresponding car token just off the board edge in the seats.
