GearWorld-The Borderlands basic Premise and Component List

I haven’t got around to playing this board game yet and haven’t even finished reading its rule book, but thought I would introduce you to some the games attributes.

The Game Board depicts a post- apocalyptic world and includes a map of a continent called Haestus and the islands of Claw, Ironside, and Locke. These land masses are where the tribes live.

“As the game progresses, the tribes produce, trade, and steal resources to develop weapons, bridges, riverboats, ships, and skyworks. When a tribe controls enough skyworks, they receive a multitude of gifts from the floating cities that dock at them, allowing the tribe to thrive and dominate the Borderlands.”

The game board’s art is beautiful and depicts land, both lowlands and mountainous terrain, rivers, lake, and sea zones

The game can be played by two to four players and depicts a post Movement is done on foot, by horse, riverboats and ocean going steam ships.

 Besides the game board, the game also comes with a wealth of other components:
