Summary
Some folks might balk at a post-apocalyptic game in which players don't battle each other but, on the other hand, some gamers who don't like PvP will be very happy. I like Remnants quite a lot although I'm never keen on players all performing some action simultaneously as in the resource dice rolling here. I also wish there was a bit more variety with the Badlands and Dread cards but I expect a possible expansion if the game does well sales-wise. I dig the juggling of trying to grab VPs while doing your best to build a compound which will withstand and eventually take down the baddies.
