If you’ve lived in Atlanta, been to Atlanta, or really even just heard about Atlanta, then you know our traffic is crazy.
From common problems like congestion and fender benders to insane, ‘only-in-Atlanta’ issues (i.e. a loose boat blocking traffic or wild exotic animals on the road), Atlanta traffic is something we can all laugh about. (Unless, of course, we’re stuck in it and then we can cry about it!)
And now, a local Atlanta resident is making it into a hilariously fun card game.
What is Atlanta Traffic: The Card Game?
Atlanta Traffic is a brand new card game created by Evan Simmons, to poke fun at the insanity of Atlanta traffic. He says, “Traffic may be the single most relatable struggle in Atlanta—everyone I’ve described this game to either instantly understands it, or they’re not from Georgia.”
The game is set to launch for pre-order on Kickstarter on May 7, 2024. It features familiar obstacles such as never-ending construction zones, cars on fire, unpredictable weather, and so much more!
How Simmons started Atlanta Traffic: The Card Game
Simmons developed Atlanta Traffic: The Card Game over the last few years as a hobby. As he became more serious about making it a reality, he enlisted the help of his friend and graphic design teacher Tim Baker to create the artwork. Simmons says, “The game is designed to make people laugh, from the flavor text to the card mechanics reflecting real life. There’s just something cathartic about playing through our pain together. ”
Whether you’re sitting in traffic for another 5 minutes because of a ‘pile up’ or waiting on a zebra to cross the street… Atlanta Traffic promises to bring the absurdity and frustration of I-285 and GA-400 home to your tabletop.
