Product Information

The four main characters in Aftermath have personal goals and you’ll be attempting to complete all of those goals as you play through the game’s missions. On top of that, you need find food and other supplies so your colony can survive. Play in glorious 4K/60 FPS. Endure endless waves of increasingly difficult zombies in the new Horde Mode XL game mode, featuring hundreds more zombies on screen than ever before possible. Horde Mode XL will arrive in a free post-launch update on PC.

Aftermath is not a true legacy game in the sense that the players will destroy components, but it does provide an episodic campaign that will introduce numbered cards and send players to different areas of the storybook board, some of which will differ depending on your actions and choices. If you’ve played either Stuffed Fables or Comanauts, the system in Aftermath is very similar in terms of how the story unfolds, albeit simplified in comparison to Comanauts and with none of the dice rolling that occasionally ruined Stuffed Fables. Please don’t misunderstand me for I am not suggesting that everything we experience virtually should be without a real-time price. Conventions (including digital ones) are not free to stage. Last-minute changes have meant huge losses for organisers. To the extent that some worry about their ability to carry on in the industry. Further, I am happy to pay for online experiences/services and do so on a regular basis. The financial impacts of coronavirus are not unique to event hosts and publishers. So, the gesture is greatly appreciated by the average cash-conscious board gamer. Access and AvailabilityThroughout each mission you’ll be generating encounters by drawing encounter cards. This will usually lead to groups of animals showing up at your location. If the situation is safe, you can communicate with them and potentially add them to your colony. If the situation is hostile, they’ll try to fight you.

Aftermath is easily my favorite Adventure Book Game so far. I enjoyed the Comanauts story the most and Stuffed Fables is still the best option for a kids board game, but Aftermath’s gameplay is by far the best, in my opinion, and it looks the best on the table. Although the SPIEL.digital headlines proclaimed 1400+ new releases, I found this statement a little confused. Many coveted titles were already well known and some won’t actually be available until well into 2021. On this basis, were SPIEL.digital’s claims linguistic licence or hyperbolic? I’ll let you decide. It must be considered that hosting a digital convention on this scale was no easy feat. You'll leave the safety of your colony and venture out into the abandoned world on one of 20+ story-driven missions and side missions. Scavenge the ruins of mankind in search of food and supplies for your colony, but beware, the world is filled with bandits and predators, and you must fight or flee to stay alive. Step into a post-apocalyptic world where nature reigns and critters have inherited the Earth. Aftermath board game is an immersive adventure board game that will test your skills, strategy, and survival instincts. As a member of a misfit critter colony, it’s up to you to scavenge, explore, and fight to defend and grow your community.SPIEL.digital 2020; four days of promised virtual showcasing, gaming, and exploring. Laptop recharging, headphones resting. We made it. The question is; did the organisers? So, what was it like? Well, starting strong with a surprising opening speech from the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. The bar was set high. Overall, I found it a bit of a mixed bag.
