Modiphius - Fallout: Wasteland Warfare: Two Player Starter Set - Board Game

Product Information

Fallout: Wasteland Warfare includes an entire narrative campaign arc as well as unique random missions with narrative-style objectives, and Crew Caps recovered in missions can be used to improve the crew’s perks, weapons, gear, and upgrades for the next encounter. In either Player vs. Player, or Tournament mode, players can try to survive the tabletop wasteland. Fallout is a post-nuclear adventure board game for one to four players. Based on the hit video game series by Bethesda Softworks, each Fallout scenario is inspired by a familiar story from the franchise. Survivors begin the game on the edge of an unexplored landscape, uncertain of what awaits them in this unfamiliar world. With just one objective to guide them from the very beginning, each player must explore the hidden map, fight ferocious enemies, and build the skills of their survivor as they attempt to complete challenging quests and balance feuding factions within the game.

Now it has been restored to more than its former glory. The Mk II version of Liberty prime uses a near inexhaustible supply of Nukes to explode and irradiate targets with extreme prejudice. Completely immune to all but the most massive damage, Liberty Prime strides across the Wasteland with impunity – a literal colossus of destructive power and might. Tokens: 145 different tokens, divided into two Power Tokens, 27 Enemy Tokens, 35 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. tokens, 54 Caps Tokens, 12 Trait Tokens, 10 Faction Tokens, and eight Quest Markers. Use re-rolls wisely. If you are aiming to roll four hits, and roll two blank dice and one dice with two hits, save the two hits and only re-roll the blank dice. Voice module online. Audio functionality test initialized. Designation: Liberty Prime. Mission: the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska. Primary Targets: any and all Red Chinese invaders. Emergency Communist Acquisition Directive: immediate self destruct. Better dead, than Red." Should you assist the Railraod or help the Institute? Will the Brotherhood of Steel prevail over the Enclave? Can you discover the secret of Vault 84? Grab yoru friends, get S.P.E.C.I.A.L., and win influence over the wasteland in Fallout!If a player performs the camp action they recover three HP and unexhaust any exhausted cards. They then gain the ‘Well Rested’ trait, which they can spend to re-roll any number of dice once during a test.

The box also contains sheets upon sheets of information, small cards for different choice encounters and quests the players may bump into, the myriad of weapons the players may recover during their adventures. It also comes with two fold up maps that can be used completely in association with the starting campaigns listed in the core Rulebook, often coming with in game interactable terrain and hazards. Players will often be required to complete tests in Fallout. These tests will be represented by one or more S.P.E.C.I.A.L. tokens followed by a number: for example, C.L.2. Players roll the three V.A.T.S. dice and count the number of hit icons (stars) revealed. If the number equals or exceeds the number on the test, the player succeeds. If a player has any S.P.E.C.I.A.L. tokens which match those required for the test, players can re-roll any number of dice before resolving the test. Players can re-roll for each matching S.P.E.C.I.A.L. token. Fortunately, Fantasy Flight Games’ latest licensed acquisition has taken Bethesda’s beloved roleplaying video-game franchise, Fallout, and brought its irradiated wastelands to your tabletop. Boasting detailed miniatures, custom dice, and a gorgeous modular board, could this be the adventure i’ve been waiting for? Welcome to the Wasteland! Weapons have one or more S.P.E.C.I.A.L. tokens shown on their card, as well as unique abilities. For each of the weapon’s tokens which match one of that player’s tokens, they may re-roll any number of dice before resolving a fight action. Any weapons with the ranged (gun) icon allow players to fight enemies in adjacent spaces. If they do not also have the ranged ability, players automatically inflict one additional hit. A number of pips are also apparent on some sides of the dice, with each one dealing damage to you equal to the enemy’s level. In this case, our run in with the Raider Psycho would cost us six health points from rolling three pips.

If a player does not successfully kill an enemy during a fight action, it remains on their space. Damage does not transfer between attempts, so players must achieve their target in one action. Fallout is a franchise that has existed since its first iteration in 1997, serving as a top down RPG before in its later entries transforming into a large first person RPG. Set in Post-apocalyptic America you play as a variety of characters, ranging from Vault Dwellers looking for their family members or a betrayed courier looking for the gang who killed him, you will wander a land filled with choice based quests and a rich narrative full of World building either alone or with a companion as you piece together what happened to result in the birth of this hostile new world. Fallout Wasteland Warfare puts you into the world by replicating iconic features of the main franchise, such as being able to upgrade and maintain your settlement of survivors and acquiring perks to further advance or specialise your characters into various playstyles, ranging from close range brawlers who will stop at nothing to connect a spiked bat to an enemy’s skull to madcap scientists who rely on energy weapons and gadgets to achieve victory over the less intelligent members of the wastes. A S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Love Note If a player performs a fight action, they may engage one enemy on their space. Players roll all three V.A.T.S. dice and aim to get a number of hits equal to or higher than that enemy’s level. The V.A.T.S. dice will indicate which part of the enemy’s body that roll hits. Only if these match that enemy’s vulnerability will they count as damage. If there are any star icons on the V.A.T.S. dice after the roll is resolved, for each icon the fighting player suffers damage equal to that enemy’s level.

I’m always on the lookout for a new adventure game. Despite the wealth of options available to us gamers, sometimes the intense strategic Euros, light fillers, or even epic miniatures games fail to satiate that occasional thirst for discovery and exploration. A sprawling wasteland lies before you, wiped out by the centuries-old atomic blasts of The Great War. Beyond a smattering of hills, you can see the charred remains of a society you remember shiny and new. Through the bare foundations creep a collection of mutated critter’s whose origins you can only guess, attaching whoever and whatever crosses their paths. Beneath the overgrown soil, vault-dwelling communities fight to survive on limited resources. It is across these abandoned spaces you must now travel, building a new life atop the fallout of a destroyed world.If a player performs a camp action they may also trade with any other survivors within one space of them. Survivors can trade assets, loot, agendas and Caps. Both players must agree to the trade.

For each move action, a player may move up to two spaces on regular terrain. If a player wishes to traverse difficult terrain, indicated by red lines, each space costs an entire move action. Companions provide unique benefits such as healing. To do so, they must be exhausted (turned 90 degrees). Exhausted cards unexhaust when a player performs a camp action. Each companion, however, specifies a condition. If that condition is not met when the card unexhausts, the companion leaves that player and is discarded.Overall, Wasteland Warfare can make you as a player feel a very strong sense of emotion and passion in regards to your faction, putting every tactical advantage at your disposal to its full use to try and help them succeed. This can lead to fun rivalries growing at the table between players, maybe they have a heroic character who killed your longest living troop who you spent multiple missions upgrading and caring for. The game provides depth and plenty of mechanics to read through which can come across as overwhelming or daunting to a player new to the table top war gaming scene but has a solid starting string of quests to get you into the action and understand how Wasteland Warfare plays. The move from polygons to cardboard has become increasingly popular, with Doom and Dark Souls being notable examples. Fallout is a welcome addition to this trend, offering one of the most immersive video game adaptations tabletop gaming has to offer.
