Road Behind 2023

As the nuclear winter spreads through all the continents, obliterating the planet’s ecology, you realize that it’s not safe to be by yourself, raising a toddler.

You pack what little food you have left, a few clothes, and open the hidden entrance of the complex for the first time in... has it been 5 years already?

Road Behind is a survival, risk management solitaire game, in which you and your child travel south along a winding road, avoiding dangerous people and inhospitable places, rummaging for food and shelter among disaster, looking for a latitude where the disaster hasn’t reached, on which you, and especially the kid, can start a new life.

Managing the risk of events along the road is a critical part of the game. The other is choosing wisely between comfort and progress, when to hide, when to rest, and when to push forward towards the end of the road... and safety.

[GAMEPLAY]

Each turn, you will:

Perform actions. Draw new action cards. Consume food. Update weather. Affect morale. Reset shelter. Review inventory.

Additionally, whenever an Event is triggered, it must be resolved immediately, before continuing the turn.

You use actions to move on the road, use an item, rest, or perform special actions like rummaging, taking shelter or hiding.

You win the game if you reach the last card in the road deck, and after applying all its icons you have at least 1 KID action card left on your action deck, hand or spent pile.
