What it is about
A non-violent single player miniatures game about cleaning up after the Chernobyl disaster. In this game you control a so-called “liquidator”, tasked with cleaning up after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster. Your goal is to finish a series of tasks required for the clean up, but you have to move quickly as every second your radiation exposure is increased. Uses a custom d100 resolution system. You will need dice, a mini, some markers and rulers (the game is metric but has simple inch conversions if you prefer), and lots and lots of terrain. At its heart it's a pretty simple game about careful movement and positioning and pushing your luck. I may or may not come back to this. I definitely want to add a couple of more scenario outlines and possibly optional rules for different kinds of liquidators.
