Desolation is a solo exploration, dungeon crawling, map tile placement, skirmish boardgame set in the great World War Two zombie apocalypse.

In Desolation you will build a hardened crew of survivors that will progress in skill, acquire new equipment and customize weaponry from battle to battle. The game comes with its own field book where you record your crews’ skills, weapon loadouts and campaign progression.

Your play area is made up of 4-inch by 4-inch map tiles, randomly placed as you progress through each hellish mission. Unique tile placement and removal rules maximise the high-tension experienced in ferocious combat versus a ravenous and infectious zombie horde.

You are pitted against the award-winning Zombie Tango Oscar game AI which controls the swarming undead. Your zombie opponents include the ubiquitous Beta zombie along with a hierarchy of more dangerous foes such as the Kugelfisch, Armoured, Alpha, Alpha Prime and Omega zombies, each with their own unique powers.

There are multiple missions, each modified by environmental conditions and foe composition. These are combined to form six different campaigns. Each campaign tells a unique story with its own objectives and bespoke missions.

Whether you play as one-off battles or as a full campaign, Desolation delivers a nail biting, highly tactical solo board gaming experience with unlimited replayability.
