Radlands is a competitive, dueling card game about identifying fiercely powerful card synergies.

Act as the leader of your post-apocalyptic band of survivors in a battle to protect your three camps from a vicious rival tribe. Once they are all destroyed, you lose the game.

The most important resource in the game is water. You spend it to play people and events and to use the abilities of cards you already have on the table. People protect your camps and provide useful abilities, while events are powerful effects that take time to pay off.

Both players draw cards from the same pile. All cards can be played to the table or discarded for quick "junk" effects. To win, you must use your cards and the water wisely.
