51st State: Master Set – Scavengers

About this expansion

51st State: Scavengers is an expansion for 51st State: Master Set for 1–4 players, with a play time of about 90 minutes.

Released in 2017, this first expansion for the Master Set is based on the earlier Ruins expansion. It revisits a selection of familiar cards while adding new content and a new mechanism to the 51st State experience.

The defining idea of Scavengers is that nothing is lost forever. The discard becomes a place to search for valuable locations, giving previously discarded cards a renewed role in the game. These locations can then be leveraged for use in your State.

This focus on the discard offers a clear identity for the expansion. Instead of treating discarded locations as permanently unavailable, Scavengers makes them part of the possibilities available during play, connecting the discard directly with the development of your State.

• A set of fifty cards
• Favorite cards returning from the original Ruins expansion
• New locations for use in your State
• A new mechanism centered on the expansion’s added content

Because it combines returning favorites with new locations, 51st State: Scavengers connects the earlier expansion to the Master Set while introducing its own identity. The result is a focused addition built around recovery, discarded cards, and valuable locations.

For players looking to explore more of the post-apocalyptic 51st State setting through an expansion, Scavengers provides a compact fifty-card set with familiar elements and new possibilities. Its discard-focused concept is the centerpiece of this addition to 51st State: Master Set.
