Fallout
Explore the wasteland, take quests and juggle factions in a tabletop version of the video game.
Who it's for
You love the Fallout video games or story-driven adventure board games and have a whole evening to spend. Great solo or with a small group.
Not for you if…
You want a short, light game or dislike long rulebooks. It is a heavy, time-hungry adventure.
Vibe's take
Immersive and long, like a campaign you slowly work through. You wander, fight, loot and make story choices, and the wasteland rewards patience over speed.
About this game
Fallout puts you into the wasteland of the Bethesda video game series as a survivor with a story to follow. Each scenario is inspired by a familiar tale from the franchise: you explore a hidden map, fight monsters, build up your character and complete quests while balancing rival factions. One objective guides you at the start, and the rest unfolds as you progress, with new quests and personal targets popping up. It plays solo or with up to four, and a long session can easily take three hours. If you love the games, it feels like a tabletop wander through the ruins. If not, it is a heavy adventure with lots of rules.
