Hasbro: "We are very proud"
“We are very proud that a game inspired by ecological succession is the first board game to receive an FSC Leadership Award,” writes Hasbro.
Developed by award-winning game designers Eric Lang and Ken Gruhl in collaboration with Hasbro Gaming, Life in Reterra is a community rebuilding adventure game. In Life in Reterra, players rebuild communities in a post-apocalyptic setting using materials from the past. The board game's premise: In the not-too-distant future, the world is an overgrown memory. Although the world has changed, we have changed with it, and are using whatever we can find to build a new way of life. It's up to each player to build their own community.
To do this, they first choose one of three ready-to-play theme kits. They then take turns laying out tiles that represent different terrains and filling them with buildings and inhabitants to create a community. The better a player's community thrives, the more points they receive.
Building cards unlock powers that help players score more points, and players can revamp the game each time by creating their own sets of buildings. You interact with other players and even disrupt them to slow their progress. In the end, it's simple: the highest score wins.
Life in Reterra is aimed at two to four players aged ten and over and is available for a retail price of 34,99 euros.
