About the game

What you do in a play session

Coraab: Dump throws you onto a post-apocalyptic planet covered in technological junk — and guess what, that junk is worth gold! Here, you’re one of the faction leaders competing for the best treasures in the Dump, a dangerous wasteland full of forgotten tech and rare resources. The game is a mix of strategy and timing: you assemble a crew of characters with unique abilities, each with a different influence value. Low-influence cards act first, helping you build your engine early, while high-influence cards offer bigger advantages but kick in later. The secret? Balancing your crew, grabbing the best loot from the Dump, and knowing the perfect moment to play each card. Whoever manages their trash... err, resources best, becomes the king of the Dump!
