About the game
Two additional dystopian scenarios that can be added to the core game, Dryland and Cyber Zombies. In the Dryland dystopia, players go on expeditions to discover water resources hidden beneath the surface that may survive and be used in the future. The basic game mechanic used is bag management. In the Cyber Zombies dystopia, you stand at ground zero, killing zombies and trying to help as many people escape as possible. The basic game mechanics of this dystopia are area movement and dice rolling. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Restart: Sand and Cables supports 1–4 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 Restart: Sand and Cables is 60–120 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 Restart: Sand and Cables for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

The credited designers of Restart: Sand and Cables are: Vangelis Efthimiou and Antonios Yannopoulos.

The catalogue lists Restart: Sand and Cables as an expansion for Restart your Future.
