Posted on | by Polar_Bear | Leave a Comment on Wreck Age: 2nd Edition Rulebook Now Available

Well, the world’s come to an end again. Damnit, Todd, I told you that “the nuclear option” didn’t mean just launching all the missiles and hoping for the best. Now we’ve got to find ways to survive in this post-apocalyptic wasteland. Thankfully, we used to play a bunch of Wreck Age, so we’re well-prepared. And with those updates in the 2nd edition, it’ll be that much easier.
If you’d like to be like me and Todd, super-prepared for the end of civilization, I suggest you get a hold of the new 2nd Edition of Wreck Age, which is available now.

Wreck Age is a hybrid RPG and table top war game set on a post apocalyptic version of Earth.

From the announcement:

~26th century Earth —a hard place to live.

Two hundred years ago, the worlds’ rich and powerful left the planet in a mass Exodus. However, this grand plan didn’t include everyone, and society collapsed in their wake. Now, for the first time in centuries, those left behind take their first baby steps from the culling of previous generations. There’s finally hope to put an end to the death and destruction. Crops are starting to grow and populations are booming. Various factions vie for power and resources. There are valuable troves out in the Wilds for those willing to take the risks to search for them.

Welcome to the Wreck Age.

Wreck-Age, by Hyacinth Games, is a post-apocalyptic skirmish game. Human civilization has collapsed and those that remain must struggle against the elements to survive in any way they can. Players take control of a small group of humans who must eke out a living.

Hyacinth was kind enough to send me a box set of Drifters and wanted me to give you their thoughts on the subject.

So grab your goggles, hockey mask, razor-sharp boomerang and shoulder pads, ’cause here we go…
