ENDORSEMENTS
“…the game is great, I got dirty & filthy and I didn’t even have to leave the house…”
Allan Shaw – World Famous Bikepacker
“…We recently had the chance to try out Jody Barton’s new game, Dirty Filthy Bikepacking, at our end-of-year party. It was a massive hit! The perfect blend of humor, strategy, and teamwork, combined with fantastic design. Ideal for days when we’d rather bikepack from the comfort of pub! Thanks Jody!…”
Velociposse
“…I played it this weekend with some friends and one of their kids. Everyone loved it. It’s a really nice balance between competition and helping each other out! Really nice!…”
CyclingEscape
“…Very fun and very clever, I love how it gets everyone chatting about their experiences & how they relate to the game…”
Eric House
“…loads of fun, lots of genuinely funny moments and we loved the cards, honourable mention and shoutout to the cringe item stealing fox with questionable intentions…”
Zack B
“…the game is great! We played with an 11 year old and a 9 year old, I actually think it really suits their age as well, because they find all the dirty underwear jokes extremely funny…”
Bikepacker
“…Within the first two rounds of the game, we decide that this game will not win C_____ over. C_____ ends up stuck, no one comes back to help, J___ gets the win and we guilt R___ into going back to save his wife. Game rating: 10 out of 10…”
Bikepacker
“…just played first round with a good friend who bike packs with us … and it was an absolute blast! Well done!!… too fun…”
Bikepacker
“…Great game. So much fun, we were laughing non-stop…”
Bikepacker
“…Just played! Everyone enjoyed even the non-cyclists!…”
Bikepacker
“…Was a lot of fun! It’s so relatable to real bikepacking! I loved the little details in every card! Seems like you put a lot of thought and effort in it! Well done! 🙌…”
Bikepacker
“…Thank you! It was so much fun 🙌…”

I have made a special web page called ‘The Shelter’ – which is an online resource for DFB players. There are ‘plaintext’ game rules for online translation, a recommendation for a translation camera app and also some printable resources. It should be enough to get you going if the rules are a bit daunting in English as a second language. Visit The Shelter: click here

THE GAME
As you travel through the game you’ll encounter crazed woodland creatures corrupted by their own criminality, hallucinatory visions of unicycling serpents, dancing flowers, drinkable chain lube and medical experiments with bib-short bacteria plus 101 other eventualities – in other words, it’s exactly like a real bikepacking adventure.
Just watch out for the Local Vegan Militia who own the dumpstering rights on your trail.
If it makes you feel better for not being on a real trip, put the tent up in the house and play inside that for maximum oxygen depletion and aroma.
With a lot of help from my own long-suffering group of crazy bikepacker friends and many hours of extremely fun games testing and designing I am happy to launch this little pedal swan into the choppy waters of the world. 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.
ACTUAL PEOPLE PLAYING
ABOUT… ME
“…artist Jody Barton has cut a messy swathe through various cycling related illustration projects for Omnium Cargo, Cinelli, Unbound, Ass Savers and for countless alley cats and messenger championships. His chaos aesthetic and love of the laden wheel makes him the perfect person to create (the first ever?) bikepacking boardgame…”
ANTI-FASCIST
I’m totally devoted politically and emotionally to the right of all people to self-determine their identity and to live their lives in the way they want to live them. My entire practice as an artist is dedicated to this and I have worked for many organisations and individuals in support of these ideals.

SO MANY COOL THINGS CAN HAPPEN!
This game is a winding road, a dirty delight, a filthy funhole, a silly sidequest. If you like being in the woods, being harassed by woodland creatures with mental health problems, knitting your own tent from yoghurt, replacing your bike chain with foraged creepers, wearing a tortoise as a hat/navigation device or having a lukewarm mouthful of ‘DRINK N’ LUBE’ – (the only really drinkable chain lube with fruit chemicals and death chems) then YOU ARE GONNA BE HAPPY.
GAMEPLAY
Essentially you ride along through the woods of a mystical forest world with a group of other riders (all low on hygiene skills) and collaborate and co-operate to get to the next camp spot. You can ride together, share resources and face disasters together to collect points. You can also play dirty tricks on each other and still end up being best friends. It gets frantic and funny as you dump rocks and cringe items on each other and make machiavellian deals to keep rolling against all the odds. And if it all goes to hell and you are stuck by the side of a lonely road then you can get down on your haunches and earn points in a spoon-carving side-quest.
It’s all very intuitive and fun.
TRAVEL MOD?
A couple of people have mentioned that it might be possible to play a ‘cut down’ version ‘on the road’. You know, drink a mud-based yak farmer smoothie on a dusky windswept hillside, picking insect mandibles out of your eyes; just the cards, some knucklebones for dice and a gnarled tyre lever as your opponent (your only friend who hasn’t betrayed you, your only friend who won’t be dead by sun-up)
If anyone wants to suggest how that might work then I’m ALL UP for hearing about it.
THE SPOONQUEST
When things go wrong, and they will, you’ll need to make the best of it. There’s no sense moping as your body dessicates from thirst or your foot fungus grows another face. It’s time for the best of us to to sidequest. And the name of the game is: SPOONCARVING. Who doesn’t need a wobbly, splintery spoon the size of a human arm and weighing 3.5 kilos? Exactly. So when you are drifting into hypothermia, try carving up a storm. For points. For glory. For the WIN.
THE DIRTY RULES
Obviously a game needs rules. One set for the rich, another for the poor – oh… that’s society. But here in Dirty Filthyland the rules are the same for everyone. And they are printed on a sheet. I urge you to refer to them only when absolutely necessary as rules are boring. You won’t need them much anyway. The game is intuitive. And yet… surprisingly surprising. Don’t let anyone be ‘that person’ who appoints themselves monarch. Give them an extra rock to carry.
