In Action Point (AP) Allowance System games, each player is allotted a certain amount of points per round. These points can be spent on available actions, until the player does not have enough remaining to "purchase" any more actions.
Action Point Allowance System
The Campaign/Battle Card Driven mechanic is a relatively recent development in war games that focuses the players' actions on cards they have in their hand. The very basic idea is that performing a single action uses a single card. Games where cards are used to determine the outcome of battles do not use this mechanic.
Campaign / Battle Card Driven
Co-operative play encourages or requires players to work together to beat the game.
Cooperative Play
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
This mechanic usually requires players to pick up an item or good at one location on the playing board and bring it to another location on the playing board. Initial placement of the item can be either predetermined or random. The delivery of the good usually gives the player money to do more actions with. In most cases, there is a game rule or another mechanic that determines where the item needs to go.

  2. 7 out of 10

    I liked the cooperative play of it, although any card-based game will get a little fiddly. I kited both times I played, which seemed to be against the spirit of the game, but it was fun!

  3. Cooperative, roque-like adventure card game in an apocalyptic world. What makes it special? * High randomization for game set-up (location tiles, scavenge tiles, characters, scenario and objectives) which makes exploration always interesting and unpredictable, however, may not always balance out well. Players have 4 actions each turn: * Move * Draw a card (hand limited) * Play a card * Scavenge a location + Artwork (kind of serious comic style) + Theme (zombie, post-apocalypse) + Components + Modular board: tile movement and exploration (variability, replayability). Each location tile has special effects. + Several scenarios with special objectives (replayability) + Several characters with special abilities and different stats (variability) + Stealth test to sneak by monsters in a location (dice roll / push your luck) + Variable enemy groups each game (variability) + Small box with a lot of game # Randomness: monsters are randomly spawned (dice rolls), ambush cards in scavenge decks # Rule book is okay - Set-up takes a long time (sorting cards, set-up cards) - Playing time and difficulty is very swingy due to the high random set-up Similar games: * Pandemic (more abstract, escalation management, same objective each game)

Maximum Apocalypse is a cooperative roguelike adventure game for 1-6 players. In Maximum Apocalypse, civilization has already fallen. The players are survivors of the apocalypse whose mission is to survive the hostile landscape.

The game map is randomly generated and different every time that you play. On each turn, a player can use up to four actions to explore the map, play cards, equip weapons, scavenge for resources, draw cards or battle off monsters.

Picking a unique survivor class within the group, players must plan their strategy and work together while leaning on their survivor’s strengths in order to defeat monsters and avoid starvation. For example, the Fireman is deadly up close with his ax and can easily chop down monsters; meanwhile the stealthy Hunter is great at scouting the map and avoiding traps — but roaming monsters are gathering quickly and time is running out. If you are overwhelmed by monsters or die of starvation, the players lose. If they can find enough gas and get it back to their van to escape, they all win and live to play another scenario.
