Battlecars is a simplistic wargame based upon the Mad Max genre of a post-apocolyptic world dominated by aggressive, waring gangs. It was first published by Games Workshop in the early 1980s.

Each player has one or more "battlecars" that are equipped with machine guns, flamethrowers, spike droppers and the like, with much taken from James Bond mythology.

The simple game mechanics allowed for quick and entertaining gameplay, with damage being marked off using card counters. Possibly over-simplistic for some more mature players, it is possible that the game was intented to capitlize on the popularity of the then popular Car Wars game published by Steve Jackson Games.
