Description

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. features high-quality models and top-notch components that transport players to the harsh and cruel Zone. The mechanics have been carefully crafted to provide players with a sense of tension and danger as they tackle the game's challenges. At this point, we know that the game will please hardcore players while being accessible to people who are just starting their journey in story-driven board games. The core narrative will be based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.’s campfire stories. The missions themselves are divided into separate boxes, allowing for a smooth transition into the game itself. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The Board Game is a fully co-op, story-based “zone” crawler. It is set in an alternative version of the Chornobyl Nuclear Plant Exclusion zone, full of anomalies, relics, mutants, emissions, and dark secrets. Every mission will offer a different approach - either sneak in or go in guns blazing. Both systems are integrated seamlessly into a highly tactical experience. But you always have to remember that Zone is full of surprises - toxic radioactive rain, upcoming emissions, anomalies, or bands of mutants roaming around can cross your plans. —description from the publisher
