The Boomstick City wiki

A growing reference for the game. Start here, then dig into the crews and the world.

Core rules

Goal. First crew to 15 Territory Points wins. It is a race, with no turn limit.
Volts. Your energy. It ramps up by one each turn and refills fully. Spend it to play cards.
The board. A single shared board. Both crews fight over the same ground.
Combat. Survivors trade attack and health. Win the fight and take Territory Points.
The Stash. When your rival has no Survivors left, the Stash opens. Raid it for a flat point.
Running dry. Empty your deck and you start bleeding a Territory Point per turn, so keep up the pressure.
Card types. Survivors fight, Gear attaches to a Survivor for a buff, and Events are one-shot plays.

Waterlogged

A retail cathedral three feet underwater. The escalators still try.

Chain Reaction

Freight, fuel, and bad ideas, stacked to the ceiling. No smoking. Everyone smokes.

Triage

Still smells like disinfectant and old panic. The good beds are taken.

Cramped

A city stacked in the ribs of a dead freeway. Mind your elbows.

Irradiated Zone

Where the runoff pools and the runoff glows. The locals are fine. They insist.

Itchy Trigger Finger

The only way in, watched by people who would rather it were the only way out.
