HOLDOUT

A solitaire resource-management game in a post-apocalyptic world

The end of the world.

We wondered what would cause it, and what it would be like living in the aftermath.

We never thought it would actually happen.

We never thought it would be like this.

You’ve spent years surviving from day to day, fighting for every scrap of food and drop of water, and defending yourself from those who would take what little you have - including your life. Finding some resource-rich ruins, you decide to settle down and try to make a new life for yourself. You are not alone, however - there are others who would like to join you...or rob you...or worse.

HOW TO PLAY

GAME OVERVIEW

In Holdout, you will be building your wasteland home in order to make it suitable for daily life, including sources of water, food, and proper shelter. Realizing that there is strength in numbers, and through an innate desire to help other survivors, you hope to bring others into your settlement to form a cooperative community. Your ingenuity will be challenged, as creating something from nothing is not easily done. Your settlement will be a proud bastion of hope for the scattered survivors of the wasteland - and a target for the marauding Raiders who do not seek to help, but to destroy.

To win the game, you must achieve the goals for your chosen scenario by the end of six game rounds. These goals usually involve having achieved certain levels of resource development.
