About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever felt that post-apocalyptic movie vibe where everything is falling apart? That is exactly what Collapse brings to your tabletop. You are thrust into the final months before the end of civilization, and your only goal is to survive long enough to see another day. What makes this game stand out is the variety of-apocalypse scenarios: you can choose to face a financial collapse, a biological outbreak, a natural disaster, or a nuclear meltdown. If you are feeling extra chaotic, you can even mix them up for a truly unpredictable-end-of-the-world experience.
At its core, Collapse is a deck-building game where every card counts. You will be working to build a deck that helps you gather essential supplies like food and weapons, while also investing in fortifications to buy yourself more time. But watch out—time is a finite resource, and your neighbors are just as desperate as you are, competing for the same dwindling supplies. It is a tight race against both the ticking clock and your fellow players. You will need to balance long-term planning with the ability to react to sudden-death events. It is fast-paced, tense, and perfect for players who love survival themes and efficient card management. Will you build a fortress or will you run out of canned goods just when you need them most? The collapse is coming!
