Earth Reborn is a tactical game set in a post apocalyptic world. The game designer has written a story to support the theme and that story is very well documented in the rulebook.

This game comes with a box that holds all the necessary stuff to play the game (except card sleeves). A modular board, cards, miniatures, counters even a cloth bag to draw orders tiles from. And the insert inside the box holds everything in place and has some room for the future expansion…

The rulebook is very easy to read with lots of examples of play and guides you through the various levels of complexity, adding a rule or two per page. Then you play a scenario only with the rules that you have read so far to get the hang of it, before proceeding with the next set of rules and the next scenario.

The combat rules are scalar, you can play with simple rules, move and fire or you can play by the full rules, allowing you to interrupt your opponent’s move and react to what he is doing. The characters have abilities that give them the opportunity to interact with the floor elements, to search rooms, to use some special equipment. This is a game that it is so full of possibilities that you will never be bored to play, as long that you have a willing partner.

Judging from the background story, there will be several expansions to the game. I will look forward to buy them when they are out. This is to most complete game I have in my collection and I will happily support the game designer and this game.

Note that this is not a light game, it requires time and commitment to fully understand the rules and to master the game. But all those that are able to spend the time and effort required to do so are well rewarded.

Thank you Christophe for this marvellous game
