About this game

Adrenaline turns your table into a first-person shooter, minus the screen, arming you with a starting pistol and a map full of better guns just waiting to be grabbed. You move, scavenge weapons and unload on rivals using cards instead of dice, so every shootout resolves in a clean, tactical instant rather than a die roll. Getting hit is not purely bad news either, taking damage builds up your own turn, letting a losing position snap back fast and hard. Modular boards keep every match feeling like a different arena, and area-control scoring rewards racking up kills across the whole match, not just the final blow.
