Luddite

Description

Luddite is a thrilling roll and write style game that combines a fully integrated graphic novel with high-stakes gameplay. In this immersive experience, players take on the role of a Luddite, seeking to destroy the NED automata, bionic creatures that have begun to replace humans in the workforce. With a unique blend of science fiction and comic book elements, Luddite offers a captivating storyline that unfolds as players progress through the game. As a Luddite, you'll hack into the neural networks of the NED, navigating its complex systems to collect valuable resources and deal damage to the machine. Each round, three communal dice are rolled, and players use these dice to interact with the NED's modules, moving their Neetle nanobot through the systems and trying to outmaneuver the automata. But beware - the clock is ticking, and the higher the die added to the clock module, the more damage is done to the NED, but also the less time you have to complete your mission. This push-your-luck mechanic creates a tense and exciting experience, as players must balance risk and reward to succeed. With hundreds of complex images from artist Adam Beachey, the integrated graphic novel adds a rich visual dimension to the game, drawing players into the vast Solar 175 universe. Whether you're playing solo or with a group of up to 99 players, Luddite offers a fun and challenging experience that's easy to learn and plays out in just 20 to 40 minutes. Designed by Madeleine Adams and Joseph N Adams, and published in 2023, Luddite is a fresh and exciting addition to the world of board games, perfect for fans of science fiction, comic books, and print-and-play games.
