Junk (2013)

Junk is a card and dice game for 2-4 players that takes 45-90 minutes to play: instead of building civilization like you might be used to in the genre, in Junk you are REbuilding using the junk from the world before.

The players are leaders of a tribe that has survived an apocalypse and scavenge the wasteland for junk. These junk cards are drawn, traded, or stolen from other players to combine into pre-collapse technologies. The first tribe to restore civilization by achieving all 5 of these: the wonders of Sanitation, Preservation, Constitution, Radio, and Power Generation, wins.

How will you choose to survive? By nurturing the wasteland ecology and harvesting its resources, founding a warrior culture to take what others have, restoring culture and quality of life, studying the science of what came before, or learning how it all fit together?
