That’s not to say New California isn’t a grand old time. "New California expands the core game with larger maps, new encounters, and - most importantly - quest lines inspired by the original two Fallout games, as well as adding updated versions of the Fallout 3 and 4 scenario cards" New California partially addresses this with co-op mechanics that emphasize the shared world, but only capitalises on it for a single adventure. That said, player characters have few opportunities to interact, making each multiplayer session feel like solo games were intruding on each other. Alternatively, players can ignore factions and gather enough influence to earn a personal victory.īy and large, FFG’s Fallout is a unique game that authentically captures the selective morals of each series' protagonist. Using quest and encounter cards, players follow branching narratives that alter the game world and eventually guide one faction to victory. From there, quest cards and encounter decks drive the story for 1-4 survivors while they explore settlements, fight enemies, and scoop up caps across the map. Each session, players arrange tiles face-down into a fog-of-war-never-changes map, and choose a scenario that introduces two factions trying to control the Wasteland. Between this release and the core game’s expansive content, players have enough material to customize authentic Fallout multiplayer experiences to their heart’s content.įFG’s core Fallout set is a complete board game largely inspired by Bethesda’s Fallout 3 and 4.
Thankfully, 76 wasn’t the only post-apocalyptic multiplayer experience to arrive in 2018 - Fantasy Flight Games unveiled Fallout: New California, a board game expansion inspired by the original Interplay Entertainment titles.
Love or hate Fallout 76, it’s hard to deny that West Virginia was a far cry from the series’ iconic narrative roots. An inspired blend of both Interplay and Bethesda's post-apocalyptic visions, is New California the co-op Fallout game you deserve?
