About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone! Get ready to dive into the post-apocalyptic world of Radlands, a super competitive card-dueling game where identifying powerful card synergies is the key to victory. Here, you take on the role of the leader of a group of survivors, fighting tooth and nail to protect your three camps from a vicious rival tribe. If all your camps are destroyed, it's game over for you!

The most important resource in the game is water, which you'll spend to play people and events, as well as activate the abilities of cards already on your table. 'People' are your defenders and also offer useful abilities, while 'events' are powerful effects that take a little time to pay off, but are well worth the wait.

The cool thing is that both players draw cards from the same deck, which makes the game even more dynamic. And versatility is total: each card can either be played to the table for its main effect or discarded to activate a quick, secondary 'junk' effect. To emerge victorious, you'll need to be a master of card and water management, making smart decisions every turn. It's a fast, intense game full of tactical decisions that will keep you hooked from start to finish!
