Highly Anticipated ‘Fallout: The Board Game’ Begins Hitting Stores

Dec 3, 2017

I’m sure my nephew Cameron will be pretty excited by this one as Fallout: The Board Game is about to hit by way of Fantasy Flight Games. I have to admit there are some conflicting indications that this is either A) already available in stores or B) will be shortly. Truthfully, I don’t think it’s hit too many stores just yet (FFG doesn’t have a store link for it either) but certainly will in time for your holiday shopping. Regardless, this is a title a lot of people have their eyes on. Fallout is for one to four players, ages 14 and up, plays in around two to three hours and carries an MSRP of $59.95.

From FFG:

A sprawling wasteland lies before you, wiped out by the centuries-old atomic blasts of The Great War. Beyond a smattering of hills, you can see the charred remains of a society you remember shiny and new. Through the bare foundations creep a collection of mutated critter’s whose origins you can only guess, attaching whoever and whatever crosses their paths. Beneath the overgrown soil, vault-dwelling communities fight to survive on limited resources. It is across these abandoned spaces you must now travel, building a new life atop the crushed glory of a destroyed world.

Fallout is an adventure board game based on the hit video game series by Bethesda Softworks. In the game, one to four survivors will begin at the edge of an undiscovered landscape with one primary objective: to survive. Staying alive, however, is just the beginning. Players must explore the hidden map, fight ferocious enemies and build the skills of their survivor as they attempt to complete challenging quests and balance the feuding factions within the game. To win the game, players must collect influence, thereby securing their spot in a society struggling to thrive in a world forever changed. Welcome to the Wasteland.
