From the first time I saw Fallout the board game on the shelf I knew I wanted it. I have been a fan of the Fallout line since the first game. I have play almost every Fallout video game to come out and it was time to get the board game. After watching a couple videos on how to play, I was very intimidated. There seemed to be a lot of moving parts, card decks and miniatures. My fiancé and I play a most of our games together and I was thinking this would be one that would be a little out of her comfort zone.
I played through the single player game mode and enjoyed the game from the start. After the first game I knew the game was not as complicated as I thought. The game was so fun I stayed up till 3 am playing the game another 2 times. The next day I set it up for my fiancé and I, and I wasn’t disappointed. My favorite part of the game is the questing. The flavor and the ways you go about completing the quest feel like playing a video game. This is the closet I have come, in a board game, to a video game RPG. With hundreds of quest cards, the game replay is awesome. We both enjoyed the game and can’t wait to introduce it to our play group.
I play a lot of tabletop games with miniature and the piece in Fallout are top quality. Before long they will be painted and looking great on the great design of the game tiles. It really feels like you are in the wastelands. For those of you that have played the games, look forward to the quest for the Wasteland Survival Guide! All of the cards are well designed and I really like the decks are different physical sizes. There wasn’t enough room in the box for the insert and all the cards/game pieces. And there was not enough bags for all the game pieces, packaging could have been thought out a little more. Other than that, the game is great and I am looking forward to the expansion.

From the manufacturer
Fallout is a post-nuclear adventure board game for one to four players, based on the hit video game series by Bethesda Softworks.
Survivors begin the game on the edge of an unexplored landscape, uncertain of what awaits them in this unfamiliar world.
Each player must explore the hidden map, fight ferocious enemies, and build the skills of their survivor, as they attempt to complete challenging quests and balance feuding factions within the game.
Includes four scenarios based on the storylines of Bethesda's Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 video games.
Players take turns in clockwise order, starting with the first player. After all players have taken a turn, enemies on the map activate and attack, and then a new round begins with the first player taking another turn.
Players continue resolving rounds in this way until a player achieves enough influence to claim victory or one of the factions in the scenario reaches the end of the power track.
Includes plastic figures, character cards and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. tokens, inspired by the Fallout video game.
Who comes out ahead will depend on how keenly and aggressively each player ventures through the game. However, if a single faction is pushed to power too quickly, the wasteland will be taken for their own, and the survivors conquered along with it.

Actually fun
I’m the type to find board games intimidating to start but this one was pretty easy to pick up! There isn’t too much to keep track of that isn’t apparent on the playing field. Manual does good with explaining the rules. I was able to get through a game after just one read through (and occasional glances at the reference during play) If you like Fallout just buy it it’s actually fun

Always been a big fan of the Fallout Series. So when I found out there was a board game I had to have it. Takes a lot of time to understand and even then requires constant referencing, but once you get it down it is incredibly fun. Played solo to learn, it’s replay ability is not lacking and it was an incredibly good time. First board game I’ve had that makes me want to keep playing just like the video game. Detail and construction of pieces and cards is very well done. Highly suggest it for anyone that is a fan of the video game and challenging RPG board games in general.
Great Game, Challenging, and Original
