📖 About This Game
The Flood is a euro-style game with dice rolling, resources and event mechanics as well as miniatures.
In The Flood, players are taken back in time to the pre historic world before the flood. Their objective is to build a network of Huts and Camps and collect & forage enough resources to build the Ark before the flood. Each player has a unique Mighty Beast - the hero miniature that can forage strategic resources. The Flood has 2 modes, co-op scenarios and solo gameplay.
The board includes 27 hexagons and a board edge that includes a trade track, faith points and a market. During their turns players will build, forage, deploy mines, control their Mighty Beast, collect resource cards, obtain event cards. Story cards control the weather and yield multiple other bonuses. Trading is a strategic part of the game. Players are able to trade resource cards with each other and the supply.
Once a player that finishes the Ark, the game stops and faith points are counted. The player with the most faith points wins!
