Product Information
In 2213, a 19 - day war abruptly ended the century - and - a - half - old world order. Bombs fell on the third day, and by the 19th, 99% of Earth's population was dead or dying. Decades of wars and conflicts preceded this, with populations rising up and the global government trying to maintain the status quo. In the last five years, the situation escalated, and leaders panicked. No one knows who started the nuclear war, and in the post - apocalyptic world, survival and rebuilding are key. Each turn, players draft and play a card from their hand. Actions include moving citizens or airships, building structures, researching tech, starting conflicts, gathering resources, and reducing radiation, all of which can earn points. If you can't store resources, they're available to others. Each card has a primary and a secondary action, and you can save cards for later. After all actions, hands are passed, and a new card is added. If a 'Winter' card is added, it's replaced, and the game timer moves forward. As the timer advances, expected and unexpected events occur. The game ends when the Winter track finishes, and points are scored.
To play this game, each turn, just pick a card from your hand and play it to show what action you'll take. You can move your citizens or airships around the board to explore new areas or expand your territory, build useful structures, do some technology research, start a fight if you want, gather resources, or reduce radiation. Remember, these actions can get you points in different ways. If you can't store your resources, leave them on the ground, but be careful as others can use them. Since each card has two actions, you'll always have something to do, and you can also save cards for future turns. After everyone has taken their actions, pass your hand to the next player and get a new card. If a 'Winter' card comes up, don't use it, just replace it and move the game timer. As the timer goes on, there'll be expected events like radiation spreading or needing to feed your citizens, and some unexpected things too. The game will end when the Winter track is over, then it's time to count your points. Keep an eye on the resources and events to make the best decisions for your strategy.
