About the game
After 500 years, two factions emerge from their underground cities into a new world, an Earth reborn from nuclear disaster. 12 highly detailed miniatures represent the two factions: NORAD: military in thinking and origins. Scientists and engineers add to their strength. SALEMITES: occultists working with cadavers, bringing the dead to life. Soon after emerging, these two factions meet - and it is determined that they cannot live together in peace. Earth Reborn offers nine scenarios that take you through missions of rescue, retrieval, and escort through areas of labs, mansions, towns, and more. Each scenario builds upon the rules of a new chapter: the game system is built like a tutorial. There are core rules to start the game, and each chapter offers 1-3 new rules along with a scenario that uses these new rules. The game also contains the innovative S.A.G.S. (Scenario Auto Generating System), where 2-4 players can make their own maps and mission objectives for near infinite replayability! Other features include: A Tetris-like board construction using polyomino floor tiles. An order tiles system to give commands to your miniatures. Interrupt Duels with Bluff, betting command points to interrupt an enemy character and act during another player's turn. The I.P.S. (Iconographic Phrasing System) that allows almost any effect to occur with icons, totally language independent. Colored base arcs on miniatures to simplify Line of Sight, shooting, and close combat. It also multiplies characters’ variations and possibilities. The Search rule, giving a visceral feeling to searching in rooms to find equipment. A Mission Points track that also serves as a Morale Points track. Radio Scrambling to mess with your opponents' orders.

Questions and answers
Earth Reborn supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Earth Reborn is 180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Earth Reborn for ages 13 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.
Earth Reborn has a complexity rating of 3.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a heavy game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
