Set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting, Fallen Land: A Post-Apocalyptic Board Game is a hybrid game that combines the elements of a strategy board game, with card building and role-playing. It is driven by very detailed and deep stories of a world after the final great war that ends civilization as we know it and features adventure, politics and economics to deliver an unlimited sandbox experience. The game is very well done and you can definitely tell the creators have put their blood, sweat and tears into this one. This unboxing takes a look at their 2nd Edition that was successfully funded on Kickstarter a few years ago. The 2nd Edition contains 757 cards compared to 540 in the 1st Edition. The map also now includes Canada and Mexico and the game now contains expansions there were previously released separately – Fallen Land: A Journey into Darkness and Fallen Land: Outriders Trading Post.
For the Kickstarter campaign, we were able to do an interview with one of the designers Jon Lonngren on the 2nd Edition game, its background and how it works and you can read that at the following link: https://theplayersaid.com/2021/01/18/interview-with-jon-lonngren-designer-of-fallen-land-descendants-and-fallen-land-a-post-apocalyptic-board-game-2nd-edition-big-box-currently-on-kickstarter/
I also wrote a full review of the 1st Edition game and you can read that at the following link: https://theplayersaid.com/2018/10/08/the-story-of-a-brutal-take-that-struggle-for-survival-in-the-radioactive-wastes-of-america-but-with-a-glimmer-of-hope-a-review-of-fallen-land-a-post-apocalyptic-board-game-from-fallen-domi/

One of the few games I regret trading away. I bought the first edition at Gen Con a few years back after reading your review. The sheer number of cards can be a bit daunting, but….I think I’m going to have to grab this one again.
