About the game
Based on Pat Mills and Oliver Ledroit comic book ! 2 players strategy game on a checkerboard made of random cards, with 2 boxes (identic or not) you can play 4 players. On Resurrection the worst you were on earth the more power you have ! Vampires, Ghouls, Werewolves, mad scientists, sorcerers... You lead 5 armies of one of these factions and you have to conquer the capital of the other player's faction. During your turn you have 3 actions you can do in the order you choose with all your armies at once: moving, attacking, taping lands to activate cards. Each territory of the board is a land before being taped and then you flip it and it's a Ruin. Armies of each players start with 1 point force and movement. When you Tap lands you get resources you spend to activate cards to improve your armies. Depending of your faction abilities and of the territories in front of you, you'll have to adapt your strategy. You only have 10 cards to develop your armies, you may have to choose between force or movement or other. You know your enemy cards, you know what he can do too, so adapt ! Move your armies to seize the other player capital or defeat all his armies in one turn : you win !
