Defenders of The Last Stand is a post apocalyptic adventure game by Richard Launius (Arkham Horror, Run Fight or Die) and Jason Maxwell (Agents of SMERSH) for 1-5 players set in the Western United States more than 50 years after nuclear war. Players take on the roles of Defenders of the last known haven for humanity, called The Last Stand. Four outside clans leaders, along with their followers, advance toward the town, and players work cooperatively to defend The Last Stand. Menacing mutants also roam the desert threatening the city's survival. The game will introduce player character mutations - your character can mutate from travel into irradiated areas. Gameplay will consist of both elements of adventure and conflict resolution, and Defenders of the Last Stand will come loaded with miniatures, including three large sculpted miniatures of the invading Clan leaders as well as their minions - sculpted by Chad Hoverter. The four warrior clans include raiders on bikes and in cars, another group of mutated humans who ride large beasts, third clan consisting of techno savvy, yet criminally insane youths, and finally a large winged creature so mutated that he has lost all traces of his old humanity.

A Great Thematic Cooperative Board Game But Requires A FAQ
I really enjoy this cooperative board game as its has a great deal of theme. Be aware however that you will have to search online for a FAQ as the rule book is missing many important rules. Be prepared as the first time you play can exceed 3 hours due to the fiddly nature of this size of a game. I encourage anyone looking for a long thematic cooperative board game to give this a shot.

Big, exciting, thematic boardgame.
The makers of Defenders of the Realm have returned to create another fantastic game.Enter Denfenders of The Last Stand.This takes everything cool and fun about "Realms" and polishes it to near perfection.I've played the game solo and with a group and it's a blast.Components are very well done. The board is nice and big, the miniatures are very nice and the gameplay is excellent.

Really fun solo if you have the time
Really fun solo if you have the time! Great theme and art. Nice big game board gives it an open world feel, along with many options per action.There also is tension and the theme builds on it really well.Setting up can take a while, but its straightforward and easy to do.
