Mechanics of Fallen Land: A Post Apocalyptic Board Game - 2nd Edition

  • Players with Different Skills - Each player controls a unique faction, each with its own special abilities and strategic advantages. The factions have character cards with unique abilities, which influence decisions and strategies throughout the game. With these skills, players can specialize in different aspects, such as combat, exploration, or event manipulation, allowing for deep customization of the gaming experience.
  • Area Movement - The board consists of a map divided into different areas that represent a post-apocalyptic world. Players use point-to-point matches to move their teams along the map. During movement, players must manage hazards such as difficult terrain and unexpected events, which may require additional resources or strategic choices for efficient navigation.
  • Negotiation - Interactions between players are fundamental and promote the exchange of resources, favors or temporary alliances. Negotiation can directly influence the progress of factions, enabling collaborations that can destabilize opponents. Players use negotiation to obtain equipment, information or support in combat, and it is heavily influenced by trust and the fulfillment of agreements between the parties.
  • Data Scrolling - Randomness is introduced through dice, which are used in events such as combat, exploration and resolving random events. Different types of dice (D6, D10, etc.) are used depending on the action being performed, impacting success or failure based on the results of the rolls. Modifiers, coming from faction skills or equipment, can adjust the roll numbers, allowing players to influence the luck factor within certain limits.
