GMT Games presents 'Plum Island Horror', an exciting cooperative board game for 1 to 4 players. This game ingeniously combines tactical unit management with a tower - defense style survival mechanism. Each player gets to take charge of one of six distinct factions, representing the diverse groups on Plum Island. Every faction comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses, prompting players to make the most of their faction's strong points and minimize the weak ones. Players must work together closely. Through their combined efforts, they aim to successfully evacuate a besieged city and stop a terrifying outbreak from spreading beyond the island. If they succeed, they'll win as a team, and the world might never know about the averted disaster. But if they fail, they'll share the blame for letting humanity down. The game comes with a wide range of components, including a mounted game board (22” x 34”), a rulebook, a reference guide, 124 playing cards, six player faction mats, two NPC/Horror Mutations faction mats, five player aids (4 action cards, 1 VIP Civilians/Quick Reference), a game track sideboard, two cloth bags, six custom combat dice, 70 Murder of Horrors tiles, 39 cardboard standees with plastic stands, 83 wooden cubes, and 210 cardboard markers.
To start playing 'Plum Island Horror', first set up the mounted game board and lay out all the components as described in the rulebook. Each player chooses one of the six factions. The goal is to work together to evacuate the city and contain the outbreak. Coordinate your actions with other players, using the unique strengths of your faction. When using the playing cards, action cards, and other items, refer to the reference guide for quick information. Keep in mind that each faction has its own limitations, so plan your moves carefully. After the game, store all the components in the cloth bags to keep them organized. Make sure to handle the cardboard standees and markers gently to avoid damage. If you have any questions during the game, the rulebook is your best friend. Enjoy the thrilling cooperative experience of saving Plum Island!
