No one truly knows what caused the One-Day War between the superpowers, but a single day was enough to bring an end to the Underworld. After the collapse of governments, leaderless bands of survivors seek shelter in the ruins of once great cities. The climate is unforgiving, resources are scarce, and mutant tribes roam the wastelands. The world desperately needs a hero to rally the people and raise them from the ruins.

Resurgence is a competitive, Euro-style board game for up to four players. It features a unique mix of bag-building, stealthy worker placement, and resource management, making for a unique gaming experience. At the start of the game, each player chooses a hero who will lead a small group of survivors and some supplies. Each round of the game, players must secretly plan where to send their workers to complete various tasks and exert their influence, whether that’s completing missions in the ruins of Moscow; gathering fuel, food, and spare parts; rescuing survivors; learning new skills; or building their base.

Resurgence offers multiple paths to victory, and in-game events and endgame directive cards add replayability and variety from game to game. At the end of the game, the hero whose faction triumphs becomes the new leader and unites all surviving factions in the refuge of Hope Island.
