Deadzone: 2 player starter set (Third edition)

About this board game

Deadzone: 2 player starter set (Third edition) is a competitive game for 2 players with a play time of about 120 minutes, set in lethal containment zones abandoned by the wider world.

You control an elite team of soldiers entering a Deadzone to scavenge lucrative resources. The mission is dangerous from the start: rival Strike Teams are also operating in the area, ready to thwart your plans. Get in, get out, get rich—or get dead.

Deadzone delivers cinematic, immersive gameplay through an innovative cube-based system for movement and shooting. Instead of using tape measures, players judge distance in cubes. Models can move anywhere within a cube, helping them make effective use of cover and obstacles while keeping movement fast.

The same streamlined approach applies to shooting. If a target is within the measured cube distance and you can see it, you can shoot it. This creates a brisk system in which navigating dangerous terrain, finding cover, and taking a clear shot all remain central to the action.

• Cube-based movement: Move models anywhere within a cube.
• Cube-based shooting: Measure distance in cubes and shoot what you can see.
• Two-player competition: Face another Strike Team in the Deadzone.
• Streamlined rules: Third Edition incorporates refinements developed over more than five years.

Third Edition includes the changes and improvements from the previous Outbreak and Escalation supplements, along with further refinements designed to make the rules faster and more streamlined. For newcomers, Deadzone offers a direct entry into fast, cinematic wargaming; for returning players, it presents a refined version of the experience.
