A tabletop game of post-apocalyptic vehicle combat

Inside the Wreck and Ruin Game Box

Wreck and Ruin combines a collection of game components to create its distinctive post-apocalyptic tabletop experience. Each piece helps players plan, adapt and fight for control of the Wastes.

What’s in the game?

  • Vehicle miniatures: Faction-coloured vehicles make it easy to identify each player’s machines across the board.
  • Board tiles: Double-sided, interchangeable tiles let you arrange the playing area in different ways. Change the layout and adjust your tactics to suit the terrain.
  • Round tracker: Keeps track of the game’s progress and also serves as a Wasteland map when placing new sites.
  • Event deck: Events bring the Wastes’ unpredictability to the table. They can alter the board and disrupt plans, affecting more than just the active player. An event remains in play until another replaces it.
  • Faction cards: Each faction has its own character, reflected in its unique card. Only one may be played per game, but its effect is powerful and tailored to that faction’s aspirations.
  • Salvage cards: Single-use equipment and actions found while travelling through the Wastes. Use them to improve your vehicles or interfere with an opponent’s plans.
  • Flame pegs: Mark damage as vehicles take hits. Each machine can withstand only a limited amount.
  • Wasteland guides: Keep essential vehicle information close at hand, including how many dice to roll and the number needed for success.
  • Salvage sites: Double-sided tokens placed on the board as contested objectives. They also count towards the victory points used to determine the winner.
  • Action point tokens: Each player receives five tokens per turn to spend activating vehicles.
  • Dice: Six-sided dice, colour-coded to match each faction. Roll them to resolve attacks, rams and other actions.

Together, these components create a changing battlefield where players must manage their vehicles, seize salvage and respond to whatever the Wastes throw at them.
