Dust Biters is a two-player microgame built from 18 unique cards where players maneuver a single-file caravan of cars in a 10–15 minute deadly desert race. Each player controls four cars initially placed in alternating positions. Players take turns performing any combination of three actions: draw a car, play a car to the front, move a car one space, or activate a car's special ability. At the end of each turn the car at the rear is swept away and eliminated. Play continues until one player has no active cars and loses. Cards are highly positional with varied destructive and tactical abilities such as Spiky and Sniper.
