Board Collie Games Launches Survival Strategy Game 'Survive Nuclear Apocalypse!' on Kickstarter

Board Collie Games, a studio specializing in strategic board games, has officially launched its survival strategy board game "Survive Nuclear Apocalypse!" on the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The game centers around the premise that "not everyone can survive," creating a 30-minute strategic survival experience where every player's choice determines their fate. Set in a ruined city with scarce resources, players must decide whether to form alliances or face betrayal while fighting for survival alone. Each decision shapes a different ending, creating varied gameplay experiences. The game supports 2-4 players and features 160 cards including Event, Item, Supply, and Radiation cards, along with three types of custom dice: Standard, Lucky, and Exhausted.

During gameplay, players roll dice to complete missions, trade resources, or forge alliances to increase their survival chances. Those who run out of food and water must rely on the risk-laden "Exhausted Die," while accumulating five Radiation (Rad) cards leads to immediate elimination, heightening the game's tension. Despite its short playtime, the game offers deep immersion and high replayability, with every session unfolding differently based on shuffled cards. The Kickstarter campaign includes special item cards as stretch goals that can alter the game's course based on backer participation. Each funding milestone unlocks new cards and scenarios, with gameplay difficulty and experience evolving according to the scale of support. All rules are presented on a single sheet, allowing beginners to learn the game in under five minutes.

Game elements include resource management, negotiation, betrayal, and luck that interweave to create intense strategic tension for every player. Two-player matches emphasize fast-paced mind games, while four-player sessions heighten complexity through fierce resource competition and unpredictable twists. A representative from Board Collie Games stated that through this campaign, they plan to directly engage with a global audience and lay the foundation for market entry. The company will continue collaborations with U.S.-based board game YouTubers, reviewers, and communities to develop follow-up products and theme-based series. The game's launch on Kickstarter represents a strategic move to build community support while testing market interest for future expansions in the competitive board game industry.
