Description

A short and furious war has erased civilization, leaving behind only ashes and radioactive wastelands. You are a lone survivor, clinging to hope aboard a preserved bus you’ve managed to repair. Your destination? The elusive safe haven hinted at by a looping radio broadcast known as "DECK 52." To get there, you must navigate hostile terrain, fend off enemies, and scavenge the resources you need to survive.

DECK 52: Final Bus is a fast-paced solo card game set in a radioactive wasteland. Strategize to survive enemies, obstacles, and dwindling resources as you fight to reach a safe haven. Play standalone missions or link multiple missions together for a deeper adventure, where choices and outcomes from one mission carry over to the next. Progressively harder challenges keep the journey tense and engaging.

Final Bus shares some similarities with DECK 52: Space Wrecked, but it offers its own distinct gameplay and unique mechanics, setting it apart as a fresh and engaging experience. If you loved the thrill of surviving on a derelict starship, this game will take you on an equally intense journey—this time through the dangers of a radioactive wasteland!

Can you outwit the wasteland and make it to safety?

Tutorial

Dad made the right call with the Mad Robot! However, it seems like fatigue is starting to catch up with him, and the poor guy got totally disoriented in the Hospital, where he was supposed to TAKE a Medkit or Antirad. Who can blame him, though? It’d be really fun to see what would’ve happened if Dad hadn’t thrown in the towel so early.

The Deck52 series is probably the best you can expect from a tin box game. Not only it has brilliant easy rules and nice adventurous illustrations, but also a campaign mode which will keep you playing...
