Watch “Maximum Apocalypse: Wasted Wilds Board Game Review,” a board game review for Maximum Apocalypse: Wasted Wilds from GideonsGaming on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by GideonsGaming on YouTube:

Wasted Wilds is a stand-alone entry into the Maximum Apocalypse universe. Maximum Apocalypse is a setting for when one Apocalypse is simply not enough. The world didn't end through one disaster, but many. Killer Robots, alien invasions, zombie pandemics, and pretty much anything else you can think of are a part of Maximum Apocalypse. **Gideon's Bias** Review Copy Used: Yes Number of Plays: 10+ Player Counts Played: 2 & 4 Fan of Genre: Yes Fan of Weight: Yes Gaming Groups Thoughts: Loved It **Wasted Wilds Information** Publisher: Rock Manor Games Designers: Mike Gnade Player Count: 1-5 (Box says 1-4) Genre: Co-op, Survival, Hand Management Weight: Medium Price: $80 **Pros** Five different characters with very drastically different playstyles Incredibly easy to set up and manage Highly replayable and modular A great mix of action economy, card play, and survival Plenty of ways to work together as a team without alpha gaming Satisfying combat The mechanisms and theme are baked together, and card actions make sense in the games universe The interesting tribe attitude system adds an additional layer of depth The game's framework is a playground to make custom missions Very little bookkeeping to play a campaign A nifty roguelike board game **Cons** The health spinners are a little loose The tribal affinity variant doesn't work the best While the game is compatible with other Maximum Apocalypse titles, there will be aspects that can't be used with it alone **Links** Website: https://gideonsgaming.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GideonsGaming Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gideonsgaming/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GamingGideon Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/gaminggideon The cardholders I used are courtesy of Build with Ti'tains.

About Maximum Apocalypse: Wasted Wilds, from BoardGameGeek:

Maximum Apocalypse: Wasted Wilds is the much anticipated continuation of the hit cooperative roguelike game series. It features the same compelling survival gameplay but adds two distinct campaigns with a lot of new twists around exposure to the elements and interactions with other survivors. It features five new characters, two distinct campaigns, new mechanics, and tons of new monsters and apocalypses to face. Wasted Wilds can be played as a stand-alone 1-4 player campaign, or combined with the contents of any other Maximum Apocalypse game or expansion to support up to 6 players. Survivors from Maximum Apocalypse, Kaiju Rising, Gothic Horrors and Jurassic Perils are all fully playable in this game. Plus any of the new survivors from Wasted Wilds can be played in the other Maximum Apocalypse games as well! If you're unfamiliar with Maximum Apocalypse, it is a cooperative roguelike game filled with adventure, exploration, survival and strategic choices. It was built from the ground up to be very modular and infinitely replayable. Maximum Apocalypse has inspired a Role Playing Game and spawned numerous expansions featuring everything from Bugs, C'thulhu and Kaiju. There is a vast wasteland out there to explore and Wasted Wilds has been designed as the perfect starting point! The Frozen Wilds campaign walks players through a mission by mission tutorial that will ease new players into the experience. -description from the designer
