The Splintered Lands Base Game is where your post-apocalyptic adventure begins, and trust me—this isn't your typical deckbuilder. You're not just shuffling cards and hoping for the best. You're commanding an enclave fighting for survival in a world that's determined to crush you.

What sets this apart? The Dunes system is constantly changing, so every game feels fresh. You'll recruit champions who've survived the wasteland, leash terrifying aberrations to do your bidding, and scavenge for resources while defending your base from relentless attacks. The strategic depth comes from faction synergies that reward clever combinations and tactical thinking.

The base game gives you everything you need to dive into this harsh world: 102 high-quality cards featuring four distinct factions (Delvers, Mercenaries, Ravagers, and Splintered), plus three paper playmats to organize your battlefield. The rules booklet walks you through the mechanics without drowning you in complexity.

Whether you're a deckbuilding veteran or someone who's curious about the genre, Splintered Lands offers something different. It's got the customization you want with direct conflict that keeps you engaged from first turn to last. Perfect for 2 players who want a game that's as much about outsmarting your opponent as it is about building the perfect deck.
