In the near future, the mega-corporations of the military-industrial complex have invested trillions developing cybernetically enhanced clone soldiers for off-world exploration. Seeking to build robust teams for future missions — and more importantly, to land lucrative government contracts — they have created special training islands. On these islands, they are able to simulate all of the deadly conditions their soldiers may face on remote planets.
To fund these expensive programs and the military-grade innovations built into their test subjects, the arms manufacturers have teamed up with media moguls to create and promote broadcast competitions live from the island’s training grounds. Thus was born “RELOAD”, the biggest TV show on the planet, with the most charismatic and capable subjects competing in front of millions of avid viewers to win fame for themselves and fortunes for their creators.
In Reload, you get to engage in this battle-royale experience thanks to an innovative action dice system that offers fast-paced play and the freedom to explore the island while fighting for fame.

I can not stress enough how much a poor rulebook shoots this game in the foot. This is a fun and straight-forward concept that gets bogged down in unclear processes and unintuitive design decisions that prevent it from ever really clicking.

Had a blast playing this on Tabletopia (battle royale mode, 4 players). Cool dice mechanics and a lot of fun! I will probably like team royale even more. Will try that soon. Also have to try with 2 players. Update: Played Team Royale yestrday. It took us almost 3 hours (including explanation of half an hour). I hope this is a lot faster on a real table... Reduced rating 8 --> 7. Still fun.

Laser tag or a video game in board game form. A race for points that doesn't overstay it's welcome. One negative is that the rules overhead is higher than the game warrannts teams reload was a good amount of fun. It's a fun game impeded by a bad rule book, really fiddly rules, and a lot of unnecessary fluff which distracts from the core game. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.
