Ruins

About this expansion

Ruins is a 2014 expansion for 2–5 players, adding forty new cards for use with 51st State, The New Era, or both.

In the world of Ruins, every village contains inhabited ruins. They offer shelter when needed and become places to search for food, clothing, and equipment. Ruins are also where you conduct business and rest—they are, quite literally, your whole life.

This expansion introduces new Leaders, Locations, and Contact cards. Together, they expand the cards available for games of 51st State and The New Era while adding new possibilities to how those cards can function.

• Forty new cards for use with 51st State, The New Era, or both
• New Leaders, Locations, and Contact cards
• New abilities, including the possibility of recovering discarded cards
• Locations that provide storage for resources and provide additional ones

The new abilities in Ruins include the possibility of recovering cards that have already been discarded. This gives the expansion a distinct focus on making use of cards beyond their first appearance.

New Locations do more than store resources. They can provide other resources as well, adding another layer to the role these places play in the game. Whether you use the expansion with one title or both, Ruins brings its setting and new card effects into your post-apocalyptic village.
