Terminator Genisys: Rise of the Resistance – Fight Robots On The Tabletop

2 Minute Read
Apr 19 2018

If television, movies, video games, books, and even podcasts have told me anything, it’s that one day the whole of humanity will be conquered by the machines which even now we depend on for comfort and entertainment. Prepare for that inevitable doom by playing a game that teaches you to fight the future.

That’s right folks. On Kickstarter and very near its goal is Terminator Genisys: Rise of the Reistance. Developed by Alessio Cavatore and River Horse, they are working to bring you a cooperative board game that pits players against a world overrun by killer robots. You and up to three of your friends are humanity’s last, best hope. Can you have more volts than you do amps? There’s only one way to find out.

The antithesis of humanity, gave birth to the threat of a whole new era of extinction. A threat that would never sleep, never breathe, never stop. Skynet has taken over most of the world leaving only the brave few to reclaim it. Now it is up to you to battle for the survival of mankind.

Terminator Genisys: Rise of the Resistance is a cooperative tactical board game for 1-4 players where you play as the leaders of the Resistance, liberating humankind from the clutches of the machines. Use the mission book to select your scenario or play through in campaign mode. Build the modular map and select your favorite resistance hero before engaging the Terminators in a battle for survival. Roll dice and allocate them to abilities, weapons, movement and more. Press on toward the next waypoint and don’t get overrun by the machines!

You’ve got all the standard things you’d want out of a Kicksarter game. Lots of awesome minis, some sweet rules, and of course all the stuff you’ll need to figure out a narrative campaign. You can preview the rules for yourself right here:
