Description The unthinkable happens. The world is scoured clean in nuclear fire. The oceans are poisoned for generations to come. One last patch of land remains: Antarctica. In Mel twater, two players command the shattered remains of the superpowers, struggling for control of the ice. Simple diceless mechanics let players displace, corner, and isolate their opponent’s survivors. Here, hunger is a crueler weapon than gunfire, and the barren tundra can only support so many souls. And every turn, radioactive contamination pushes in from the coastline, shrinking the available space and forcing the belligerents closer and closer together. In the end, there is only submission or annihilation, and whatever world is left. Experience the dark tale of humanity vying to survive in the Antarctic after nuclear war. Be the last one standing as radiation encroaches on your small patch of land. Recruit new survivors, bolstering the strength of your side. Control stockpiles in hopes of starving out your opponent. Avoid radiation and survive long enough to win! Show more
