Meltwater is a game where two shattered superpowers fight for survival and control on the last habitable land: Antarctica. In this bleak, post-apocalyptic, two-player war game, you’ll marshal scattered survivors, seize scarce territory, and starve out your opponent with ruthless, diceless tactics. Each turn the contaminated coastline creeps inward, shrinking the map and forcing brutal choices as you displace, corner, and isolate enemy populations to claim the ice before it disappears beneath you.

In Meltwater, hunger is a deadlier weapon than gunfire and tempo is everything-press forward to trap rival groups, cut off supply, and carve out safe zones while the radiation closes in. The streamlined rules create a tense, knife-edge contest that plays in about an hour but lingers long after the final stand on the tundra. Meltwater is available now at Boarding School Games.

Key features:

* Two-player, post-apocalyptic area control on a collapsing Antarctic map
* Diceless conflict focused on displacement, isolation, and starvation tactics
* Escalating pressure as radioactive contamination advances each round

* Ages 14+, 2 players, about 60 minutes per session
