The radioactive dust of the Last War has frozen the northern countries, the old world's resources are exhausted, and a radio message brings one last hope: the icebreaker ship Aurora is cruising the coast, looking for survivors. Winter is coming, and whoever isn't aboard in a few days is doomed. You manage a crew in a race against time: you gather resources, recruit survivors, improve your vehicle and fight enemies on your way to the ship. Cards and worker placement drive the turns, and the race tension never lets up. Picture a desperate road trip across a frozen wasteland, with a solo mode for lonelier journeys.

Who it's for

You like a bleak post-apocalyptic mood with real race pressure, and you want a game that works alone and with a group.

Not for you if…

You want a lighthearted game. The theme is grim, and the race can feel unforgiving if you fall behind.

Vibe's take

Bleak but driven. The ice and the clock push you forward, and every recruit and upgrade feels like a small act of hope against a hopeless world.
