## Overview

Arctic Scavengers With Recon Expansion is a German-designed strategic board game set in a post-apocalyptic ice age.

The game includes a plastic insert for organized card storage and encourages critical thinking, social skills, and strategic planning.

## Description

In the year 2097, the entire earth was enveloped in a cataclysmic climate shift plunging the globe into another ice age. Over 90% of the world's population was eliminated, driving the survivors to band together into loose communities and tribes. Each player is the leader of a small tribe of survivors. Resources, tools, medicine, and mercenaries are all in scarce supply. Each tribe is pitted against other tribes in a fight for survival. The players build up their tribes, skirmish against other players' tribes, and can even bluff on the way to victory. The leader who gathers the largest tribe will win the game! HQ expansion: The first expansion for Arctic Scavengers introduces the notion of a base camp or headquarters for each tribe. This base camp consists of a Tribal Leader (complete with special abilities) and the potential to construct buildings that can be used strategically during game play. Additionally, the game introduces alternative victory paths, new mercenaries, new tools, and the addition of the "engineering schematics" pile. Recon expansion: The world of Arctic Scavengers pits players against one another in an attempt to survive a post-apocalyptic ice age. As the competing tribes developed and grew, headquarters were established for each tribe (supported via the HQ expansion that shipped with the first release). As the tribes evolved further and struggled for dominance, information has become the most valuable currency. In this new world, deception reigns, leading to a need for reconnaissance.

*by Z***M on 26 November 2023*

Love this game and the concept! And the theme of an post-apocalyptic artic wasteland is extremely unique and interesting! It is a deck builder game, but in a way that you don't really realize it until you've reached the end of the game, so very entry level for the base game. Lots of variety with all of the different expansions or cards to switch in or out. The first 3 "warm up" rounds are a tad awkward feeling, but necessary. The box insert is very helpful for organization and definitely one of my favorite of any games. The cards could be a little more sturdy and have seen some wear and tear. Or they could also use some card sleeves to help
