Fallout - The Board Game Reviews

4.5 Rating 13 Reviews
Read Zatu Games Reviews

Fallout is a post-nuclear adventure board game for one to four players. Based on the hit video game series by Bethesda Softworks, each Fallout scenario is inspired by a familiar story from the franchise. Survivors begin the game on the edge of an unexplored landscape, uncertain of what awaits them in this unfamiliar world. With just one objective to guide them from the very beginning, each player must explore the hidden map, fight ferocious enemies, and build the skills of their survivor as they attempt to complete challenging quests and balance feuding factions within the game. As they advance their survivors' stories, players come across new quests and individual targets, leading them to gain influence. Who comes out ahead depends on how keenly and aggressively each player ventures through the game; however, if a single faction is pushed to power too quickly, the wasteland will be taken for their own, and the survivors conquered along with it.

As a fan of the series I feel like I was always going to love this game. The test came when I played with my partner who'd never set foot in the fallout universe. As the scene was set as we listened to Three Dog we set out to traverse the wasteland. We had a great time reading the quests to one another and she took great delight every time I failed to convince an old lady to not blow up a town! The game has its roots set in tokens as do all FF games, but the book is well written if a lot to take in. I played by myself the first time and found it straightforward enough. Again as with most FF games there is a get started guide and a full on rulebook. If you're a fan of the series this is a must have for me.

It has its problems as a board game, but if you want to experience an RPG on a board it's perfect. Play for your own story and not to win and it's a fantastic game!

Came well packaged and delivered quickly. Quite complicated first time round but play gets faster as you learn. I recommend watching a play through on the 'ManyATrueNerd' YouTube channel as an example. The game should be about 2-3 hours when the rules are learnt. Overall, great game for 2-4 players which cam be very unique each time.

Very good solo game after a couple of tweaks. I'm hoping a future expansion will make them unnecessary. The game is very atmospheric especially if you put the fallout 4 soundtrack on.
