Unbroken

A solo fantasy-horror card game about crafting weapons and escaping monsters as the sole survivor.

Published by
Altema Games

Unbroken is a solo card game for the sole survivor of an expedition that ended badly. You are weak, wounded and stuck in hostile territory, and the only way out leads through increasingly nasty monsters. You collect resources that represent your character's abilities, and you have to balance staying alive on the road with preparing for what waits in the dark. It sets up fast and plays in about half an hour, with push-your-luck decisions and dice adding tension. It is a print-and-play style game with a horror-tinged fantasy mood. Craft weapons from scraps, move through the deck, and see how far you can crawl before something eats you.

Who it's for

You want a short solo challenge with a dark fantasy mood and tough luck-versus-planning decisions.

Not for you if…

You want to play with others, or you dislike push-your-luck randomness that can punish you hard.

Vibe's take

Grim and tense in a small package. You push forward, hoping the next card is a resource, not a monster.
