Description Edit | History

In the year 2097, the entire Earth was enveloped in a cataclysmic shift in climate, plunging the globe into another ice age. Nearly 90% of the world’s population was eliminated, driving the survivors to band together into loose communities and tribes.

You are the leader of a small tribe of survivors. Resources, tools, medicine, and mercenaries are all in scarce supply. You and your tribe are pitted against up to four other tribes in a fight for survival. Build up your tribe, skirmish against other players head-to-head, or even bluff your way to victory.

The player with the largest tribe at the end of the game is declared the winner!

4 Arctic Scavengers Timeline
This provides a back story for the setting of the game. The theme of the game, the artwork, and even the game mechanics and dynamics are all built around this story of a future in which humans are struggling to survive in the wake of a post-apocalyptic ice age. It's like Robinson Crusoe in Alaska with access to a big pile of random technology bits from the future.
