Storm Raiders

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• Campaign play — There are three chapters and you can play through each of the three chapters which a pretty robust experience. They have all these tracking sheets for each time you play through so you can get more and do more and see more.
• Card Play — It's a very elegant system with the way you're playing your cards. You're always able to use the number on the top so if you have a challenge that you're facing that says this takes a five you can disregard the rest of the card and just use you know that that would be five but if I'm doing a movement action I'm also going to do this. Combining these cards lets you do some of the things you need to those bigger numbers.
• Deck Building/Management — Character decks that are specific to each character and then you can actually level up.
• exploration — Focus on exploration. When you find yourself here and it's going to take eight movement to go visit location nine because you're going down a bunch of steps but just to go through this door it costs four movement.
• Skill checks — Each character has effectively a bonus to a few different skills so as you come across things like this tinkering skill to unlock something they'd have a plus one they plus two.
• Threat track — Players share things like threat and our Vite is a shared thing it's not per character so if Ryan goes somewhere and our threat goes up and it's while something is happening to me where something happens a number of monsters come out based on our Threat Level.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• Contracts, crew, mods, and resources — Resources, contracts, crew cards, and mod tokens interact for end-game scoring; certain resources (like weapons) are wild and come with risk.
• damage and health tracking — Dice rolls can cause damage; a health tracker and damage markers determine end-game scoring consequences.
• dice drafting — Players roll a pool of dice each round and draft one die to use on their dashboard for movement or resting.
• Dice drafting from a pool — Players roll a pool of dice each round and draft one die to use on their dashboard for movement or resting.
• Movement options for three vehicle types — Three vehicles (trike, plane, submarine) move differently and use the drafted die to determine distance and direction.
• Rest phase and die management — A rest phase allows dice, crew, and resources to be refreshed or traded, with effects that can alter future turns.
• Storm movement and resource scattering — The storm moves along blue paths, with its distance influenced by die pips and end-of-round scoring implications, scattering resources as it moves.
• Vehicle-based action placement with ascending order — Dice must be placed in a vehicle's row in strictly ascending order, with each vehicle offering a unique ability for its turn.
