## Description
In End of the Line, you and your friends are thrust into a post-apocalyptic scenario where your family's survival is the number one priority. Forget action heroes; here, you embody an ordinary citizen with your family – dad, mom, son, daughter, and even the dog! – desperately trying to survive. The main goal is simple: outlast the others, facing a series of hardships like mutant attacks, dehydration, starvation, and, to spice things up, some rather peculiar pop culture references from the 'end days'.

The core mechanic is a twisted and tense version of worker placement. You'll send your family members to queues (yes, queues!) to try and acquire vital resources like food, water, fuel, and ammo. But don't think it'll be easy, because while you're trying to organize your life, the other players (and the game itself) are actively working to make your resource gathering a living hell. It's a race against time and against each other, where every decision can mean the difference between life and death for your family. Get ready for a game where worker placement has never felt so desperate!
