About the game
"It doesn't matter how it happened... All that matters is that it did happen. It was simply bound to after all. I remember hearing the stories as a kid about the day the sky turned red. They called it sunfall, because it looked like the sun fell from the sky... But some of us are still here, doing our best to press on. Spending most days just trying to put food in our mouths... Trying to make the best of this hell on earth. It wouldn't be quite so bad, if not for those damned raiders. Scumbags come in and try to take what isn't theirs. Well next time they come I have a little surprise for them... hehehehe..." Siege of Sunfall (SoS) is a game for 2-6 players in which each player attempts to protect their own settlement in a post apocalyptic world. However, they also must work together against a common enemy, the Raiders! The key is to send the right amount of troops out to protect the region, while also keeping a few at home to developed their skills for future rounds. SoS uses simultaneous play and an average game takes about 45 minutes or less to play. Blind bidding, bluffing, press-your-luck, and some worker placement are the foundation for the mechanics.
