Under Falling Skies: A 9-Card Print-and-Play Gem
If you’re a fan of compact, portable, and deeply strategic games, then Under Falling Skies is a must-try. This ingenious 9-card game packs a punch, offering a unique blend of area control, resource management, and tactical decision-making.
Game Mechanics
In Under Falling Skies, each player starts with a hand of three cards representing different factions vying for control over a post-apocalyptic landscape. On your turn, you’ll play one card from your hand to claim a territory or gain resources. The catch? Each territory has specific resource requirements, and you’ll need to carefully manage your resources to maintain control.
The game’s true brilliance lies in its card-drafting mechanic. After playing a card, you’ll pick up a new one from the center row, ensuring a constant state of flux and forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly.
Who Will Enjoy It?
Under Falling Skies is a perfect fit for players who appreciate deep strategy in a compact package. Its simple ruleset belies a wealth of tactical depth, making it a fantastic choice for seasoned gamers and newcomers alike. The game’s portability also makes it a great option for gaming on the go.
If you’re a fan of games like Arboretum, The Crew, or Regatta, where every decision carries weight, then Under Falling Skies should be on your radar.
