Radlands is a competitive, dueling post-apocalyptic card game where two players battle to destroy each other's camp cards using people, events, and water resources. Players must carefully balance a lean card and resource economy to pull off powerful synergies and outmaneuver their rival in high-conflict tactical combat.

The Verdict
based on 30 reviews
“Let me tell you i i rate this game a 10. i don't give out tens very often this this is definitely a 10 for me in fact it's probably reached into my top 10 favorite games of all time now”(11:35)
“This is such a gem of a game, I'm going to end up adding it to my collection. There's no way I'm not, I've already added it to my collection.”(28:03)
“Radlands is a unique little post-apocalyptic skirmisher, offering a faceoff that feels like a simple Magic the Gathering duel with none of the deckbuilding and all of the chaos of both players pulling from a shared deck.”
“Replayability isn't the end-all trait of a good game, but Radlands gets me excited for the next fight before the current one's even finished.”
“This is one of the top five one versus one card skirmish games out there, period. And depending on the person, depending on the time, depending on the day, there will be a good argument by people made that this is one of if not the best one out there.”(26:30)
“That's what makes Radlands such an exciting and enjoyably infuriating game. The scarcity of water, managing your hand and your camps and hoping that you can time everything just right to make the final blow that kills your enemy or at least stave off another attack and last another round, work wonderfully together.”
“It's it's a great game if you are looking for your next great 1v1 card game i highly highly recommend that you back radlands on kickstarter”(8:50)
“I was debating between eight and nine, but I think it deserves to go up to a nine out of ten and a Seal of Excellence - Raised Seal of Distinction, sorry, I'm getting mixed up - but yeah, it's definitely a solid game.”(18:46)
“Well, needless to say, we love [Radlands]. It is a game that we really enjoy because you can play it either super aggressively or more strategically, and you can get multiple games into a single evening or session.”(9:11)
“I'm gonna give this game a nine out of ten. It's definitely worth the place on my shelf, probably gonna stay in my collection for a very long time.”(9:15)
“That's my favorite, uh, game of 2021, um, I loved it, I loved it, and I loved it then, um, yeah, and it's really cheap too.”(1:03:59)
“Buy Radlands if you want a fast, aggressive, easy tolearn duel with high replayability in beautiful production.”(12:53)
