About the game
What you do in a play session
The world is ending in 15 minutes, and the only hope is building a starship before everything goes kaput. In *We're Doomed!*, you're a global leader with unique abilities, scrambling to secure a seat on humanity's last escape vessel — through cooperation, betrayal, or literal backstabbing. The game is organized chaos: in rapid rounds, you gather resources to build the ship (bigger = more survivors) or influence to board first. But watch out: negotiation is key, and someone might nuke you if you hoard too many tokens. Random events — like alien invasions or ethical dilemmas — turn the game upside down every minute. In the end, only the most influential (or ruthless) escape. Can you save your skin without becoming the villain?

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is it fun with 4 players?
Yes, but it’s wilder with 7+. With 4, negotiations feel less intense.
Do I need a timer?
Absolutely! The game MUST end in 15 minutes — the panic is half the fun.
Is it hard to teach?
Nope: rules fit on 1 page, but chaos is inevitable.
Family-friendly?
If your family enjoys betrayal and nukes... maybe? Best for rowdy friends.
Can I avoid player elimination?
Technically yes, but you’d miss the point. Embrace the doom!
