Apocalypta Card Game (Overview)

Welcome to the Apocalypta Card Game. This is a starter book containing basic rules for the card game, as well as two fully playable decks (Bold Testament and New Scum factions.) As well as a mini campaign for players using these two decks and variable map tiles for city battles.

Apocalypta is a card game/war game where players use their squad to capture resources, strategic locations and the like. Each Squad member has a card representative of themselves and the deck is made up of your squad's various special abilities and equipment.

Players doing well in the campaign will be able to increase their deck size, as well as include any new equipment that their resources allow.

Apocalypta is a game for two or more players (maximum recommended 6). Although this book only comes with a campaign built for two players, it should be easily adaptable to accomate more.

Each player's deck will consist mainly of characters from their faction, with the ability to have a minor amount of mercenary units. There are six factions to choose from, all battling equally hard in the New World.

Bold Testament: These men and women forsaw the Apocalypse through consulting their faith. Building bunkers and stocking up on resources, the Bold Testament saved all those that they could afford to. Now after the dust has settled, they have emerged from the darkness of their vaults and now wish to lead the remains of humanity into a new era of faith and glory.

New Scum: A group of bikers who the Bold Testament had tried to convince to become holy and join the Testament decided to leave the Testament to bible bashing dust and chose to pave their own way into the future. Conducting a raid on a scientific facility belonging to the Fellowship they used it's vaults for protection. The facility was researching genetic modification and when the bikers emerged, they had mutated themselves into part man part beast monstrosities, the New Scum.

Fellowship of Minds: The Fellowship of Minds had been tracking the course of the comet for many years before it hit earth. Choosing not to warn the scientific community who scorned their radical ideas and experiments, they constructed vaults across America in which they sealed themselves before fire rained down from the sky. Breaking the seals on their titanium doors, the members of the Fellowship believe that the post apocalypse world is one in which their experiments can be put to the test. The new age of science has begun, and it shall lead humanity into the future.

The Morning Chorus: Unlike the Bold Testament, the Morning Chorus were not warned of the coming Apocalypse and they believe it a feeble attempt by God to wipe them from the earth. When the skies turned red the Chorus prayed to the Morning Star that the fire spare them. Scarred and burnt the Chorus weathered the apocalypse as it happened. Now with grim determination they wish to instate their power from the chaos and shine the true light of Lucifer upon the land.

UNRA: The United National Rifle Association was well prepared for the Apocalypse. Working with the army it's members fled to nuclear shelters as the flames hit the ground. Might makes right to the UNRA and they believe that it is their mission to reinstate the Government and order in the world. Theirs is an ideal of a Global Nation, all American world. The apocalypse has wiped the system from the face of the earth and the UNRA has the power to make a new one.

The Society: Money could buy you anything. A large deal of money informed members of the Society that the Apocalypse was coming. So they came prepared. A group of largely excentric millionaires who border on the insane as practioners of Necromancy have come to the New World armed to the death with grenades, guns and skulls. The Society's main goal is to rid the earth of human influence and then raise a undead slave race, who will provide for the Society for the rest of eternity.
