Description Edit | History

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.

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!

After several games where discard decks were confused for draw decks, I created these player mats. This is my first attempt at such a project so feedback is appreciated.

4 Arctic Scavengers Timeline
This provides a back story for the setting of the game. The theme of the game, the artwork, and even the game mechanics and dynamics are all built around this story of a future in which humans are struggling to survive in the wake of a post-apocalyptic ice age. It's like Robinson Crusoe in Alaska with access to a big pile of random technology bits from the future.
