About the Game

Moonshiners of the Apocalypse is a morally questionable, not so cooperative mashup of town-building, 4x game for 2-4 players, with a tad of dice combat. In other words, Moonshiners is the one game you need to stay away from if you worry about dark humor, morally questionable choices and drinking with your enemies until they pass out.

Set in an alternative post-apocalyptic 1920's, players compete over exploring and re-building the deserted "Shanty Town". Explore and discover, scavenge for resources and build houses for the poor survivors. All of this while fighting off the hordes of disgruntled crowds that roam the town with the sole purpose of messing with your precious achievements. Did I say fight? I meant drink them under the table. Arm yourself with a crate of the strongest booze, some hangover aid and start drinking, because any unchallenged enemy will hunt you down and wreck your buildings.

Explore, expand, exploit and exterminate, scavenge for resources, raise distilleries, produce moonshine and sell it into your Saloons to maximize the profits, because when time is up, only one Hero will be able to pay for the ride out of "Shanty Town" and win the game.
