About the game
What you do in a play session
In a post-apocalyptic setting, where civilization has been reduced to rubble, Armageddon invites you to be one of the few leaders capable of rebuilding society. Your mission is to erect new towns from the debris, offering a safe haven for the survivors still roaming around. But make no mistake, the world out there is dangerous! Besides your new inhabitants, you'll have to deal with the constant threat of marauders, who will do everything to pillage your constructions and watch everything burn. To defend yourself, it's crucial to scavenge the environment for resources and build structures that ensure the safety of your community. A key point is survivor management: the more people you house, the more efficient your city becomes. However, each one needs a place to rest. If the population grows too large and there isn't enough space, dissatisfaction can lead these same survivors to turn against you, perhaps even joining the marauders! Armageddon is a robust strategy game that offers a range of tactical choices and varied paths to victory, requiring planning and adaptation every turn.
