Wreck Preview (Board Games Direct 2026)

About Wreck, from BoardGameGeek:

Wreck is a brand-new game set in the same universe as the critically-acclaimed, neon-soaked area control game of Wroth! As the war on the Drudgeon peninsula rages on, the warring factions set their sights on the nearby Arkipelago, a system of islands teeming with life and danger. The sound of cannon fire echoes as factions vie for supremacy on land and water. In this 2-4 player competitive game, asymmetric factions contend for control over both the islands and the sea. Players do so by drafting action dice to gain resources, deploying and moving troops and ships, and attacking the opposition - all while trying to hold key positions and dominate the region. Wreck rewards cunning troop management and the clever use of your faction's elite troops and powerful once-per-game abilities. The player with the most victory points at the end of the game wins! The dice drafting mechanic will be familiar to players of Wroth, but Wreck introduces a new and exciting seafaring mechanic. Maneuvering ships and engaging in combat on the seas adds new decisions and strategies that make Wreck feel unique from its predecessor! The factions of Wroth and Wreck are cross-compatible with each other, allowing for a huge amount of variety and replayability across both games! -description from the publisher
