Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

  • Defense structures and look-ahead — Construct watchtowers and barricades; watchtowers let you look ahead at upcoming event cards at a cost.
  • Event cards and Zed attacks — Draw event cards each round and resolve Zed attacks; events determine dangers and scoring.
  • Events — Draw event cards each round and resolve Zed attacks; events determine dangers and scoring.
  • Morale, food, health tracking — Manage morale, food, beds, and health; wounds can be healed with herbs; health and morale influence end-game scoring.
  • Resource management — Seven resource types (wood, metal, brick, food, herbs, cloth, wild) used to pay for structures and actions.
  • Round structure and objectives — Six rounds with five phases per round; players score via A/B/C objectives.
  • Scavenging and character recruitment — Send characters on scavenging runs to recruit more characters or gain rewards at risk of wounds.
