About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready, folks! In 'Bury Me in the Rift', you take command of a squad of two powerful mechs tasked with defending cities from an invasion of gigantic, terrifying monsters. It's a solo game inspired by the acclaimed 'Into the Breach', where each session is a tactical challenge on a modular board. You'll need to use your movement points wisely to position your mechs, protect civilians, and achieve scenario-specific objectives. The game is part of a six-session campaign, where the difficulty gradually increases, and you must upgrade your mechs with earned enhancements to stand a chance against increasingly powerful foes. The second edition brought cool new features, like more card combinations, additional mechs and maps, unique pilot abilities, and the replacement of dice with status tokens, making the game even more strategic. As a 'Print & Play' game, you prepare the materials yourself, and the variable setup ensures each campaign is a fresh experience. Prepare to defend the Earth, because the invasion has already begun!
