About the game
What you do in a play session
Remnants throws you into a post-apocalyptic world where you must build a shelter, manage resources, and face deadly threats. The game is divided into five dynamic phases: Scavenge, Build, Fight, Heal, and Clean-up. In the Scavenge phase, the adrenaline is high—you race against time to gather resources in a real-time dice-rolling frenzy. In the Build phase, you spend those resources to buy weapon, defense, and special development cards, making your shelter tougher. When threats attack (and they will), you roll dice and use your cards strategically to survive. The game escalates in difficulty, culminating in an epic showdown against the Raider Boss. The player with the most victory points wins, earned from cards, survivors, specialists, and defeated threats. It's a mix of strategy, luck, and a bit of controlled chaos—perfect for fans of survival struggles.
