What to Expect
In Earth Reborn, two factions emerge after 500 years underground into a nuclear-ravaged world. You command detailed miniatures through missions like rescue, escort, and retrieval on modular boards. The game features nine scenarios introducing rules gradually as a tutorial and includes an innovative Scenario Auto Generating System (S.A.G.S.) for custom maps and objectives, enabling near-infinite replayability.
Who Is This Game For?
Earth Reborn targets experienced players aged 13 and up who enjoy complex tactical challenges with miniatures and have patience for about three-hour sessions. It is a strategy-heavy game, not suited for casual or family play.
How It Works
Players use Action Points to perform moves and Hand Management to manage commands. Miniatures move on a grid, and dice rolls resolve combat and events. A unique feature are Bluff Interrupt Duels, where players bet command points to interrupt opponents during their turn. The game employs an iconographic system to represent effects independently of language.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Christophe Boelinger, Earth Reborn was nominated for several 2011 Golden Geek Awards including Best 2-Player Game and Most Innovative Board Game. Its tutorial-like scenario progression and the S.A.G.S. scenario creation system set it apart within post-apocalyptic themed games.
