Description
The Reckoners is a cooperative game where you and your friends take on the roles of a skilled group of humans known as the Reckoners, who are on a mission to save the city of Newcago from the evil Epics. These Epics, who were once ordinary people, gained extraordinary powers after a mysterious event, but they've all turned out to be evil. Your goal is to work together to take down the all-powerful Epic, Steelheart, and his minions. In this 60 to 100 minute game, you'll use a simultaneous dice rolling mechanism to determine your actions, and you'll need to communicate and plan with your teammates to achieve the best outcomes. With variable player powers and a range of equipment cards and plan tokens at your disposal, you'll need to research and attack Epics, contain their destruction, and earn rewards to ultimately defeat Steelheart. The game is a challenging puzzle that requires careful resource management and tactical planning, making it a thrilling experience for 1 to 6 players.
