About the game

What you do in a play session

If you already enjoy the strategic brawling of Radlands, get ready to add some turbo to your game. Cult of Chrome arrives to inject pure adrenaline into the wasteland, bringing chrome chariots and combos that will make your opponent rethink every single move. This isn't just more of the same; the expansion drastically expands tactical possibilities by adding 32 new camps. These new locations introduce devastating synergies and clutch plays that can flip the game in the final seconds, massively increasing the base game's replayability.

But it doesn't stop there. The designers know that balance is everything in a duel, which is why they've included 10 replacement camps. These rebalanced cards serve as a performance upgrade for your original copy, making the experience smoother and fairer by tweaking combinations that might have been too oppressive or cards that were underutilized. It's essentially a 'tuning' kit for your collection.

The atmosphere remains that post-apocalyptic chaos where hand management and action prioritization are the difference between victory and dust. You'll need to plan your action points with surgical precision while trying to predict your opponent's schemes. If you're looking for more depth, new ways to attack, and that 'how did I not see that coming?' feeling, Cult of Chrome is the fuel you've been missing. It's the perfect expansion for those who want to take the wasteland fight to the next level, turning every match into a high-octane duel where strategy and aggression go hand in hand.
