## Description
In a desolate future, where Earth has transformed into a vast salt desert after the collapse of civilization, the few survivors have adapted to a harsh life in the Saltlands. To traverse these plains that were once an ocean, they use vehicles equipped with land sails and wheels, propelled by the wind. But the threat isn't limited to the hostile environment; from the west, a relentless Horde of raiders in gas-guzzling machines advances, seeking a lost god and leaving a trail of destruction. The only hope is to escape, and fast!

## FAQ
### Is Saltlands a cooperative or competitive game?
It's a hybrid! While the goal is to be the first group to escape, there are no fixed teams. You can cooperate with other players to survive the Horde, but you can also betray and backstab to secure your own victory. The choice is yours each turn!

### How many players can participate and what is the average game duration?
Saltlands can be played by 1 to 6 players, which is great for different group sizes. A game typically lasts between 90 and 120 minutes, so prepare for an engaging and decision-filled gaming session.

### What is the game's complexity? Is it easy to learn?
With a BGG weight of 2.75/5, Saltlands is considered of medium complexity. It's not a super light game for absolute beginners, but it's not a heavy-hitter either. The rules are accessible, but the strategic depth and interactions might require a few plays to fully master.

### Are the components of good quality? What can I expect?
The game was funded via Kickstarter, which usually implies good quality components. Expect a modular board that ensures high replayability, thematic cards, and pieces that contribute to the immersion in Saltlands' post-apocalyptic world.

### Is there player elimination in Saltlands?
Yes, player elimination is a possibility. If your crew is completely destroyed by the Horde or other players, you might be eliminated from the game. This adds an extra layer of tension and risk to your decisions.

### What is the role of the wind in the game?
The wind is crucial for moving your land sails! It determines the direction in which you can move faster or slower, adding an important tactical element to your navigation strategy across the modular board.
