The free-thinkers, anarchists and dissidents of the Corporation will always find a home with the Rebellion. They do not stand alone, either; the galaxy is large and full of life, and most races have reasons to hold a grudge against the GCPS. Coordinating their efforts from hidden bases deep in unoccupied space, Rebs raid isolated outposts to build stocks of munitions and technology, hoping one day to have the strength to stand up wholesale against the oppressive rule of the Council of Seven.
Deadzone: Rebs Faction Starter supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The catalogue lists Deadzone: Rebs Faction Starter for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Deadzone: Rebs Faction Starter belongs to these categories: Wargame, Miniatures, and Science Fiction. Its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Grid Movement. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The catalogue lists Deadzone: Rebs Faction Starter as an expansion for Deadzone. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Deadzone to use it. Check that your edition of Deadzone is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
