Available via Kickstarter, the new Dirty Filthy Bikepacking board game captures all the fun and grime of bikepacking but allows players to enjoy it from the comfort of their own home. Learn more about the game and how you can support the crowdfunding campaign here…

We might be biased, but we think bikepacking is a lot of fun. However, there’s no question that committing to time away from home, packing your bike, and sleeping outside isn’t always in the cards. What if there were a way to experience all the trials and tribulations of bikepacking from the comfort of your living room with friends? That’s precisely where Dirty Filthy Bikepacking comes in.

Created by award-winning artist and writer Jody Barton, perhaps best known for his collaborations and illustration projects for Omnium Cargo, Cinelli, Unbound, Ass Savers, and for countless alley cats and messenger championships, Dirty Filthy Bikepacking is the world’s first bikepacking-themed board game. The game was designed by Jody with the help of his bikepacking friends to “capture the fun, filth, and freaky times of bikepacking.”

Jody explained, “With the help of my own long-suffering group of crazy bikepacker friends and many hours of extremely fun games testing and designing, I am ready to launch this little pedal swan into the choppy waters. This is a crazy and funny game that captures the fun, filth and freaky times of bikepacking. Join YOUR long suffering friends and co-operate on a journey while also sneaking heavy rocks into each others bags and foraging for suspicious fruits in the fading light…”

The game is packed full of original illustrations from Jody, hilarious playing cards, chocolate-flavored edible chamois cream, and a giant 58 x 42cm twin-folding board. The game includes 120 illustrated game cards, FSC wooden dice and 10 colored counters, detailed and amusing rules, a UFO spotting guide, and a quality storage box. There are 10 characters to choose from, including Merry Marlowe the Mood Lifter, Aquatic Allan the Boatpacker, Gina Genius the Mechanic, and more.

Each game is printed at Fabryka Kart in Europe and is available to purchase via Kickstarter today. The standard board game, including everything listed above, costs €33 and ships anywhere in the world. There are loads of optional add-ons and merch, featuring illustrations from the game, as well as an option for those living in Copenhagen. Jody’s goal is to reach €7,000, and he’s is nearly halfway there. Once the crowdfunding campaign is completed, the finished board games are expected to ship in September.
