About this board game

Badlands: Outpost of Humanity is a strategic post-apocalyptic board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 60–120 minutes. Set many years after a devastating nuclear war, it places players in a desert world where ruined cities, radioactive remnants, and horrifying monsters are all that remain of a shattered civilization.

The survivors of The Last War have formed clans and established small settlements in the hostile new world. In Badlands, you lead one of these communities as it struggles to endure. Survival depends on making difficult choices while seeking security, resources, and influence in a ruthless environment.

Send your people on distant expeditions and explore abandoned locations left behind by the old world. These journeys take your community beyond its settlement and into the dangerous wasteland, where the remnants of civilization and the effects of nuclear and biological weaponry still shape everyday life.

  • Lead a small community of post-nuclear survivors.
  • Undertake expeditions and explore abandoned locations.
  • Develop trade and attack opposing communities.
  • Protect your settlement and compete for influence.

The world of Badlands is marked by dramatic climate change, radioactive ruins, and people and animals transformed into terrifying monsters. Against this backdrop, every clan is trying to secure its own corner of the desert and preserve its fragile future.

Whether you focus on exploration, trade, defense, or aggression, your community must struggle for survival in a world rebuilt from devastation. Gather your clan, enter the wasteland, and fight for influence in Badlands: Outpost of Humanity.
