Strategic Survival Board Game 'Survive Nuclear Apocalypse!' Launches Global Kickstarter Campaign

Board Collie Games, a studio specializing in strategic board games, has officially launched its survival strategy board game 'Survive Nuclear Apocalypse!' on the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The game centers around the premise that 'not everyone can survive,' creating a 30-minute strategic survival experience where every player's choice determines their fate. Amid a ruined city environment with scarce resources, players must decide whether to form alliances or face betrayal while fighting for survival alone, with each decision shaping different outcomes and endings.

The game accommodates 2-4 players and features 160 cards including Event, Item, Supply, and Radiation cards, along with three types of custom dice: Standard, Lucky, and Exhausted. Each round, players roll dice to complete missions, trade resources, or forge alliances to increase their survival chances. Players who run out of food and water must rely on the risk-laden 'Exhausted Die,' while accumulating five Radiation cards leads to immediate elimination, significantly heightening the game's tension. Despite its short playtime, the game offers deep immersion and high replayability, with every session unfolding differently based on shuffled cards and player decisions.

In the Kickstarter campaign, special item cards that can alter the game's course will be revealed as stretch goals based on backer participation. Each funding milestone unlocks new cards and scenarios, with gameplay difficulty and experience evolving according to the scale of support. The campaign is available through https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1256013520/1018532486?ref=3i8fl3 where supporters can access special launch day perks.

All game rules are presented on a single sheet, allowing beginners to learn the game in under five minutes. While each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, elements of resource management, negotiation, betrayal, and luck interweave to create intense strategic tension for every participant. Two-player matches emphasize fast-paced mind games, while four-player sessions heighten complexity through fierce resource competition and unpredictable narrative twists.

A representative from Board Collie Games stated that through this Kickstarter campaign, the company plans to directly engage with a global audience and establish foundations for market entry. The company will continue collaborations with U.S.-based board game YouTubers, reviewers, and communities to develop follow-up products and theme-based series, indicating strategic expansion plans within the tabletop gaming industry.
