About the game
What you do in a play session
Adrenaline: Chainsaw is a promotional card that debuted in 2016 with the first copies of the game and later in Kickstarter promotion packs. It brings a chainsaw weapon that adds a brutal edge to close‑quarters combat, perfect for players who want to speed up the action and crank up the aggression level. The card fits into the base game's expansion, preserving the core action‑point mechanics while adding a new layer of strategy when you decide to deploy the weapon. Players 3‑5 must manage their hand of cards, choose when to spend action points, and move their miniatures on a grid to dominate influence zones. The science‑fiction theme and video‑game aesthetic add extra flair, making each match feel like a high‑speed action episode. While the game time is short, 30‑60 minutes, the complexity is moderate: you must balance open drafting with the need to maintain territorial control. In short, Adrenaline: Chainsaw delivers a quick, tactical, and slightly dark‑humored experience that will satisfy fans of intense battles and detailed miniatures.
