Imagine the world has suffered terrible destruction. Now you must choose a role and help the remaining fragment of civilization survive.
Richard Todd Broadwater created a post-apocalyptic dungeon crawler that you can enjoy both with your friends around and also when you’re solo.
With the aid of 40 amazing hand crafted miniatures, you can take control of as many characters as you want, during your journey for glory and renown into the darkness.
What Todd brought is 15-20 hours of entertainment with the main storyboard alone. He expanded that with 3 additional campaigns, to add even more play time to your Blackout experience.
Get to know the world of card games like never before, as Todd tells the story of his long time passion and reveals the details of a successful crowdfunding campaign.
