Step into a post-apocalyptic world teeming with danger and excitement in Barbaric: After the Apocalypse, a competitive miniature board game where survival and strategy collide. Play as a mutated animal warrior, known as a Rider, each equipped with a unique Gear-a highly specialized craft ship designed for battle and exploration. Customize your playstyle by combining the exclusive abilities and unique decks of your chosen Rider and Gear, creating a dynamic and powerful strategy that's entirely your own. On your turn, you'll navigate the ruined battlefield, scavenge for rare resources, and unleash your cards to enhance your Rider and Gear's capabilities. But the ultimate goal is to retrieve the coveted atomic core, a source of immense power hidden at the center of the board. Beware, though - the core is fiercely guarded by the monstrous Queen and her ever-growing army of relentless minions. As the game progresses, the Queen becomes even deadlier, and every move you make could determine your fate. Do you have the cunning and courage to outsmart your rivals, defeat the monstrous guardians, and escape with the atomic core? The clock is ticking, and the apocalypse waits for no one. Victory is yours - if you can survive.
