That being said, that would be doing This War of Mine a massive injustice. If I were to be prosaic, I would say that This War of Mine is a game about gathering supplies and surviving the night. So, what is This War of Mine like to play? Stats and Feelings Okay, that’s my pragmatic point to one side. It does help reading through the Journal and those references first. The rules are not particularly clear on a few things, and those do require looking up in advance of playing for the smoothest experience. This is technically true since the Journal (rule book) guides you through each day step by step – HOWEVER, it also references unique paragraphs in the “Book of Scripts” that do require reading in some detail in order to fully understand the rules. On the back of the box it tells you that you can just set up the game and play. I promise to get onto the game in a moment however, before we do let’s talk about the This War of Mine rule book. Well, before we begin, there is one glaring irritation about This War of Mine that I do need to address. Secondly, and more importantly, This War of Mine is not so much about mechanics but it is about feeling. It would take forever to write about them all individually. Firstly, there are a lot of rules and decks. In this case though, I’m going to forego that. Usually, I would provide a breakdown of the rules in detail in a section in these reviews. These scripts make it hugely thematic and add the story element.Īt Dusk you return, heal, trigger fate and events, and then it starts all over again. There are around 1900 different scripts in the game, making no two games the same. It is during this time (and Day actually as well, although it is more common at night) you can trigger story elements and events, giving you choices. Alternatively, you can guard your property from Night Raids, and get certain characters to rest to reduce their fatigue. At Dusk you must feed all your people and make sure they have enough water so they don’t get miserable or hungry.ĭuring the night phase, you explore the surrounding town to try and find supplies, trade with survivors, fight villains, and gather loot. You can also greet visitors at the door, some of which may be new survivors looking to join your clan (to a maximum of four) and some may be people looking to trade or share gossip (etc.). Throughout the game you spend the Day phase doing jobs around your house, from clearing rubble to exploring rooms and building new furniture.

You start controlling three survivors in a derelict house, and must survive a series of chapters, days, and nights to win the game.
