In the year 2097; the entire Earth was enveloped in a cataclysmic shift in climate; plunging the globe into another ice age. Nearly 90% of the world’s population was eliminated; driving the survivors to band together into loose communities and tribes.
In Arctic Scavengers; you are the leader of a small tribe of survivors. Resources; tools; medicine; and mercenaries are all in scarce supply. You and your tribe are pitted against up to four other tribes in a fight for survival. Build up your tribe; skirmish against other players head-to-head; or even bluff your way to victory. The player with the largest tribe at the end of the game is declared the winner!
As the competing tribes develop and grow; headquarters are established for each tribe thanks to the components in the included HQ expansion. This base camp consists of a Tribal Leader (complete with special abilities) and the potential to construct buildings that can be used strategically during game play. Additionally; the game introduces alternative victory paths; new mercenaries; new tools; and the addition of the engineering schematics pile.
As the tribes evolve further and struggle for dominance; information becomes the most valuable currency. In the new world mapped out in the Recon; deception reigns; leading to a need for reconnaissance. This expansion adds new tribe leader roles; new mercenaries; new equipment; and new levels of player interaction (i.e.; new ways to make your opponents feel pain).
Arctic Scavengers: Base Game+HQ+Recon comes with a plastic insert to organize all your cards for ease in play setup.
