## Description
Imagine the world ending in a single day. The 'One Day War' happened, and while nobody knows who started it, the result was the total collapse of governments and the transformation of great metropolises into ruins. Now, the climate is brutal, food is scarce, and mutant tribes roam the wasteland. This is the setting of Resurgence, specifically amidst the ruins of Moscow, where you take the role of a hero leading a small band of survivors trying not just to survive, but to rebuild something meaningful.

The game is a competitive Euro-style board game with a heavy strategic lean. The standout feature is the blend of bag-building with hidden worker placement. Instead of simply placing a pawn, you secretly plan where your workers will act. This creates constant tension: while you're rescuing survivors, gathering fuel and spare parts, or expanding your base, you're also trying to guess where your opponents are investing their efforts.

Each round demands careful planning. You must decide whether to focus on learning new skills for your hero or risk dangerous missions to gain influence. Replayability is high thanks to end-game directive cards and random events that shift the game's dynamics every time you play. There isn't just one path to victory; you can be the master of resource management or the most influential leader. In the end, the hero with the strongest faction is crowned the new leader, uniting all survivor groups in the sanctuary of Hope Island. If you enjoy games where bag-building merges with the suspense of hidden actions, Resurgence is exactly what you're looking for.
