Rise of the Wastelands társasjáték

Angol leírás

At the end of this century a rain of meteors hit the Earth, changing completely the landscape, killing the majority of people and destroying almost all sign of civilization. A few years after the impact, the remaining survivors started to gather in the ruins of cities where the effects of the meteors were less severe to try to rebuild what was left and start a new society.

Years have pass and some of those ruined cities have started to flourished, but the resources that could be salvaged in them are starting to run out. There are still not enough infrastructures and developments to generate all the needed resources for the growing population, so in order to survive, the people of these cities need to adventure into the Wastelands.

The Wastelands is a big area that was hit specially hard by the meteors and that now is starting to be in a good enough state to be explored by humans again. It is known that there are several ruined cities to salvage resources from, but there are some unknown dangers as well.

The need for resources, together with the different societies each of these newly populated cities have created, has lead to a situation where conflict and distrust has grown among these factions. So now a race has begun to get resources, grow and develop as fast as possible to become the strongest faction to rule, not only over the Wastelands, but over all the nearby factions as well.

Summary
Rise of the Wastelands is set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world, where resources are scarce and the remaining human survivors fight to rule the devastated lands. Players lead one of the four factions with their own unique abilities. Starting from their capital, they will explore the dynamically generated board, discovering new areas and establishing outposts to recycle materials. With these newly generated resources, they can construct buildings and units, all while striving to upgrade their technology and gain a strategic advantage. This will allow players to accomplish the ever-changing achievements and let them spread their influence to rule over the other players.

Winning the Game
The goal of the game is to give away at least 5 of your influence tokens among the other players. If at the end of a round only one player has been able to do it, that player is considered the winner. In the case that 2 or more players have achieved that, the player that has given away more influence tokens wins the game.

Gameplay
The game is played over a series of rounds, and each round consist of two phases:

Players’ turns: in clockwise order, each player takes one turn, in which they perform actions and claim achievements.
Influence allocation: players that have claimed achievements place the corresponding influence tokens on other players.

A round begins when the first player starts their turn, and it ends when the last player places their influence tokens during the Influence allocation phase. After that, all the claimed achievement cards are removed from the board and new ones are drawn from the achievement deck. Last, all players replenish their action points and a new round begins.
