East Midville is a supplement with maps of two streets that expand the town of Midville, Ohio originally presented in the supplement Sunday Drivers . [1] The game also includes 31 vehicle counters, a rule book and several scenarios. [2]
In 1981, SJG released the board wargame Car Wars, which proved popular. The company released several expansions for it, the third being East Midville, designed by Steve Jackson and released in 1983. [2]
In Issue 70 of The Space Gamer , Craig Sheeley commented "East Midville is a real bargain for the price, and the extra counters make it worth buying. And if you can find a 4' x 6' table to put them on, combine the maps from East Midville and Sunday Drivers for a mass shootout and running gunfight of epic proportions." [1]
The UK games magazine Imagine noted that "East Midville has two street maps that link with the Sunday Drivers map, making for a truly huge playing area." [3]
GeekDad commended this expansion for "providing even more areas ripe for destruction." [4]
