A thrilling dieselpunk-themed worker-placement, resource-management economic eurogame for 1-5 players.
Ludicreations announces a Crisis expansion & reprint
Turku, Finland - 17 April 2018
LudiCreations
has launched a new expansion for Crisis along with a reprint of the
base game. It will be the first time the game would be available since
2016, when it was sold out before making it to a retail release.
Crisis
is a tabletop board game set in a grim dieselpunk world of Axia. A land
with a glorious past, a most uncertain present and an even more
unpredictable future. Corruption, inefficiency, and political tensions
continue to increase.
However, all is not lost. A group of investors (that some would call
opportunistic) have seen this as an opening, a chance to build their own
future. The players, as those investors, bail out struggling
businesses, recruit employees, raise capital, and produce goods for
export.
While not widely known, Crisis is critically acclaimed and considered a
hidden gem economic strategy game. It is playable by 1-5 players and was
first released in 2016 in limited quantities, only being sold via
Kickstarter and at the Spiel 2016 fair, where it was sold out. In Crisis
each player assumes the role of an investor attempting to make smart
decisions in acquiring businesses, recruiting employees to run them, and
securing the resources necessary to build their engine in time to
achieve economic performance goals.
By skillfully hiring, managing, investing in companies, trading
resources and navigating the local bureaucracy and regulations, each
player will contribute to the economic state of Axia. If the players are
unable to work together, the country could go entirely bankrupt and
only the players achieving the latest economic goal will have a shot at
victory.
The 15 Company cards of The New Economy expansion add
controlled variability to the opportunities the players have to build
their business empire. The game and the expansion will be available in
English and in German, both published directly by LudiCreations.
The Kickstarter campaign is live until the 29th of April 2018:
