Description
Encounters: Shattered Wastes is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players. Each player chooses one or more characters (for a total of 2-4 characters being used in a single game) to explore the land of untamed magic known as The Shattered Wastes.
Players will fight an enemy in a battle known as an Encounter. Players win an encounter when both sides of an Enemy Card are defeated by reducing the enemy’s Strength and inflicting Wounds. Players and their characters will need to work together to weaken the enemy using their own attacks, which shifts the enemy’s Strength from Stamina to Fatigue. This will Stagger the enemy, giving players the opportunity to inflict Wounds upon it. Enemies will harm characters by using both Strength and Rage cards.
Players lose an encounter if all characters have been removed from the Encounter by having their Health Points (HP) reduced to 0 or have fully succumbed to corruption.

Quotes (from this video)
- this is going to be the last monthly menu of the year
- all of us like that game and we got a four player game and oddly enough for as much as we all like the game for a couple of the players playing at 4 they actually liked it less and they felt like they were just behind the eightball and they couldn't get the dice that they wanted
- it is a hot mess of a game in regards to what what's on the table it sprawls it is huge there's constantly changing room abilities so there's a lot of stoping what does that do and there's a constantly changing Market it's like oh wait what does that do and there's all these spells they breaking the rules and all these things I adore it it is such a cool game
- this is one of those games that I will only play with the right people that's it and I truly don't care if I win or lose which is good cuz I keep losing but you play with the right people and it's just so much fun you have your little accusations flying around the table but it's just relaxed and it's fun and it's great and if you know the and if you know the TV show it is so very thematic
- it's a clever game it's a clever little game it's got these super cute little robots and super cute little animal assistance that you can get and use and it's a good light simple game I really do enjoy it's very clever I don't know that it reaches the heights of The Magnificent or revive for me but that's a real high bar and this is a game that I think is very much intended for more of a family audience bit simpler
- I love this game and Original Don and I we play it decently regularly when we're kind of at the end of the night and if it's just us we'll just pull it out we'll play it cuz it's now it's relatively quick for us to play and it's just delightful
- the metal dice for this thing are ridiculous there's they have no business existing and just the dice I think costs significantly more than the game but they're just amazing there are these awesome Dice

Quotes (from this video)
- The bosses are also quite varied in their activations and they have multiple forms and different ways to defeat them.
- You can stun lock the bosses and do kind of silly things.
- components and the storage solution. It's just really nice miniatures, nice components, and they all go in the box extremely well.
- simple stamina card system that gives you cool card combos and gives your characters different attacks to try out.
- emergent storyline, crazy events that can happen, upgrades and penalties, and the amazing enemy activation system
- incredible modularity. You’ve got the different bosses, each with their own unique deck and mechanics.
