## Description
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game throws you straight into the machine-infested post-apocalyptic world of the original game. You and up to three friends (or just yourself in solo mode) become hunters from different tribes, each with unique abilities. Each mission pits you against dangerous machines as you manage resources and cards to survive—with a brutal boss waiting at the end. The cool part? Every game feels fresh thanks to customizable hunters, upgradeable gear, and random encounters. It's semi-cooperative, so watch out for your friends' 'help'—they might have secret agendas!

## FAQ
### Is there a solo mode?
Yes! It has a solid solo mode where you control up to 4 hunters against the machines.

### Do I need to know the video game?
Nope, but fans will spot tons of references. The tutorial explains everything clearly.

### How long does a game take?
About 1-1.5 hours, though first games might run longer while learning.

### Do miniatures need assembly?
Some machines come in parts to snap together — no glue needed, super easy.

### Is it too complex for board game newbies?
Mid-weight — not the simplest, but the rulebook explains well. Best with 2-3 players first.
