ASHES: Blackout Protocol

A.S.H.E.S. (Artificial Shelter & Human Evacuation Sequence) plunges you into a devastated world recovering from the Great Nuclear War of 1989. After years of escalating political tension, the environment lies in ruins, and survivors must unite to forge a new future. In this gripping strategy game, players take on leadership roles within underground colonies working to ensure humanity's survival through the A.S.H.E.S. Protocol, a system designed to build shelters, rescue civilians, and lay the groundwork for Project Phoenix — the initiative that could one day restore life above ground.

Strategic Actions: Managing your resources and making critical choices are key in A.S.H.E.S.. Each turn offers the opportunity to perform essential actions. Will you harness Colony Strength to construct new shelters, thus increasing your capacity for survivors, or will you contribute valuable data towards upgrading Project Phoenix? Each decision shapes the fate of your colony and influences your victory chances.

Dynamic Movement: The game also introduces the exciting mechanic of moving your Evacuation Vehicle across the board. Utilize Fuel to transport civilians to safety, enabling you to perform additional actions and gather vital materials that will aid in the development of Project Phoenix. The movement element adds a tactical layer that can change the tide of the game at any moment.

Compelling Challenges: As players navigate the post-apocalyptic landscape, they must contend with the ever-present threat of radiation. At the end of each round, any unrescued civilians suffer consequences, impacting the group's overall Happiness and resource production. Players must balance their efforts between rescuing and sheltering civilians while strategically planning for future rounds.

Step into the shoes of a leader in a world reborn from chaos. Engage in the gripping struggle for survival with A.S.H.E.S., where every decision can mean the difference between hope and despair for humanity's future. Will you rise from the ashes? Embrace the challenge and lead your colony to victory.
