EDGE OF HUMANITY: Survivor cardbuilder

Its the end of the world as we know it... And I feeel fine (Well not me, but the singer from REM for sure).
I got to this game by accident, and dont regret it.

There are actually only two cons I can tell you from my perspective: 1) you get a pretty big box that is almost empty. Ok, there are life and bullet tokens, standees with papercraft figures, and a bunch of cards, buts almost empty when i look into it. I mean, ok, some expansions are planned Im sure... But Im also sure the price (I got it for 45euro) is just tooo much for this little content and a game you can finish in 30 minutes.

If you can get over this, youll probably like whats inside and how it worksSo the game has three micro-scenarions, after you learn all the rules and play trough them, you mix them to come out with some new stories. Thats pretty fresh and unusual, and I like the little story snippets about all end-of-the-world clichés you can think of (dont wanna spoil too much here).

Actually I think the "storymode" is one of the huge PROS in this little survivors-deckbuilder.
Other then the written snippets, the story builds up itself trough gameplay: You have a deck of starting cards and try to gain new and better ones. You try to build some "haven" for you and your survivors, which can be recruited from a "market row" like in traditional deckbuilders. Also buildings and "action cards" (like an adrenaline shot, to gain more actions on your turn) are in a separate market row. With other players there is a "bidding" element who will get what - in solo you have 4 piles, two cards each, and pay a cost from your hand from 1-4 depending on the pile position.

But be quick, each turn one goes away forever! As well as the recruitable survivors...

The goal of the solo game is to gain 11 winning points as fast as possible, its a race for surviving after all. Acording to your speed youll be titled a great survivalist, or a total loser killed by the merciless brave new world...

I like the idea of two market rows, also the building of different structures known from apocalyptic movies, and all the wonderful thematic graphic art. There are some combos that you will learn during play and I say this is a pretty little game with nice basic storyline for good thrills.

But the expansion are needed ASAP!
