It's been a while, but I got a new unboxing video. I have a new place and a new (to me) game table.

So I decided to go ahead and film it.

This is wonderfully amazing game to look at, with all the ambience. There are glow sticks, heavy duty case, holographic cards, and just a wonderful feel of dread.

Kickstarter Description:

THE ZONE is a journey into a place of beauty and horror that only one character will survive, inspired by Annihilation, Stalker, Roadside Picnic, Uzumaki, and the SCP Foundation.
This is a game about mutating deeply flawed characters to bring them face-to-face with their deepest phobias and obsessions. Characters are defined in just a few minutes from the thing they want most and their greatest fear, and every part of the game is designed to push a wedge into their psyche to confront them with who they really are....

This is not a power fantasy. This is a game where you play-to-lose, knowing that your fate was already decided at the start. Only one of you will make it, but every single one of you will be pushed to the brink of your capacities. In the Zone, the mutations you face are created together, drawn from your character’s worst fears and deepest wishes.

This is a place where beauty and horror coexist. You will shape the world by going through it. The Zone shows you what you most need to see.


"Welcome, volunteers. I know you've all been wondering what The Zone really is, and if the rumors are true. As the 14th expedition, you deserve to know what we know. It's not a lot. But it may help you. It all started with the anomalies. Locals calling in to talk radio or visiting their doctors with stories of unseasonal weather; impossible objects; half-sightings of unknown creatures; claimed conversations with long dead loved ones. People disappeared. Medical notes describe bodies that started... changing."


5 REASONS TO PLAY THE ZONE
😱 You get to make your own horrors. You and your friends will be telling stories in the vein of Annihilation, Stalker, Roadside Picnic, Uzumaki, and the SCP Foundation. See more influences
📦 Zero preparation and great for beginners. You can play it out of the box without having to read anything beforehand. Perfect for that unexpected evening when someone can’t make it to your regular campaign, or if you've never played a ttrpg before!
🔁 It's different each time. Each Zone is a unique surreal place co-created from characters’ Obsessions & Phobias
☠️ Stats don't matter here. No dice, no stats, no math. Just cards. Predefined fates free up pure, horrible, creativity. It’s freeing to not have to try to win.
⛺🔥 It’s a spooky time in the dark. Everything about THE ZONE is designed to be playable in the dark, like a spooky tarot reading or sitting around a campfire.
...oh and how could I forget:

🌈 Beautiful art and holographic foil cards (ALL TIERS!)
