GAME mechanics

  • Hand Management - In Radlands: Cult of Chrome, players start with an initial hand of cards and must strategically decide how to play these cards throughout the game. The cards can represent characters, events or snapshots that require specific resources to activate. Managing the hand efficiently is crucial to maximizing the cards' effects and planning future moves.
  • Players with Different Skills - Each player can have access to different types of cards or unique abilities, depending on their faction or cards on the field. This creates an element of asymmetry and strategic diversification, forcing players to adapt their tactics based on the specific abilities available in each match.
  • Action Points - The Action Points mechanic controls the number of actions a player can take during their turn. Players have a limited number of points that can be used to perform various actions, such as playing cards, activating abilities, or interacting with the board. Careful allocation of these points is essential to maintaining a tactical advantage.
  • Take that - This mechanic involves direct interactions between players, allowing them to directly attack each other's resources and cards. The use of event cards and instants to damage opponents is an important part of the strategy, forcing opponents to reconsider their plans and adapt quickly to new situations.
