Read the full game description
Mutant Year Zero: Zone Wars turns the post-apocalyptic setting into a brisk miniatures skirmish game. Players command small bands of Stalkers, contest objectives, scavenge artifacts, and survive the Zone’s unpredictable dangers. Action points, custom dice, cards, and a chit-driven turn structure create cinematic reversals without burying the table in bookkeeping. The core set includes preassembled miniatures, terrain, a mat, cards, dice, tokens, scenarios, campaign rules, character generation, and solo play.
