The Carniverse

The Carniverse

2019·Nick Wilkins

1 - 2 players
90 - 180 min

From BoardGameGeek

Imagine a world where you are no longer the top of the food chain. A world where society has fallen, governments cease to function, and countries fall into chaos. A new primeval world where the surviving members of humankind must band together in order to fight for their existence over scarce resources. A new world filled with hungry, feral dinosaurs. This is the world of The Carniverse. Will you lead your team of survivors to victory against their foes? Or will they become just another snack for the new gods of our planet? This is a scenario-driven miniatures skirmish game played on a 3'x3' surface with terrain features. Each player controls a team of survivors battling against other teams of survivors for resources while trying to not get eaten by dinosaurs. Each team has specific skills and abilities. They are created based on available Resource Points. Each game is divided up into five phases that make up a single game turn when combined. The phases that make up a single turn are: The Dino Phase The Movement Phase The Shooting Phase The Melee Phase The End Phase When the last phase is finished, the cycle begins again until any victory or loss conditions for the scenario are met. -description from the publisher
