About this board game

Edge of Humanity is an apocalyptic card game for 2–5 players that takes about 45 minutes to play. After a worldwide conflict brings civilization to the brink of extinction, survivors must gather resources, face changing events, and work toward a new beginning.

Each survivor group seeks enough Survival points to win. Players explore the devastated world, collect the supplies needed for everyday living, and draft new survivors to strengthen their chances. The game combines deck-building, drafting, and hand management in a compact struggle for survival.

Every round introduces a new event that can affect many aspects of the rounds ahead. These developments create an evolving challenge as players decide how to use their cards, manage available resources, and continue building a foundation for civilization.

  • Approximately 45 minutes of play
  • Deck-building, drafting, exploration, and hand management

The game includes 224 cards, along with a map, player bases, survivor figures, life tokens, bullet tokens, and other markers. The card mix supports the game’s central themes of discovery, scarcity, recruitment, and rebuilding.

In Edge of Humanity, hope is fragile, supplies are essential, and every new event can reshape the road ahead. Lead your survivors through the aftermath and try to establish a new civilized inception before humanity disappears.
