Welcome to Reckoning

Welcome to Reckoning

2023·Mike Heiman

Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

The recent discovery of a substance called “Dust” has proven apocalyptic for the residents of the small mining town called Reckoning. Dust allows warping of time, but also has disastrous side effects. Most of the town has now succumbed to the corruption. Only your small posse is left. You need to score a winning poker hand (to buy a ticket on the Wagon out of town). However, spectral forces, tentacles from the deep, and raging fires are not going to make this task easy. Can you escape Reckoning? This is a solo, thematic hand management and survival game game set in the weird west where you are trying to survive the onslaught of spectral riders, tentacles from the deep, and harsh weather until the wagon arrives to rescue you. Players move through the deck of event cards while trying to get the warehouse and keep it from being overrun. If the warehouse is overrun or you can't put together a set of matching cards, you won't survive.
