Move through the arena, collect weapons and ammo, choose your targets carefully and score points through well-timed attacks.

Product Description

Adrenaline is a sci-fi strategy board game designed by Filip Neduk that brings the fast action of a first-person shooter to the tabletop.

Players enter a futuristic arena represented by a modular double-sided board, moving between rooms and spawnpoints while collecting ammo, acquiring weapon cards and positioning themselves for effective attacks.

Combat is resolved without dice. Instead, each weapon has its own range, targeting rules and effects, so choosing the right weapon and positioning your miniature correctly are central to every turn. Build your arsenal, manage your available ammo and decide when to attack before your opponents can reposition.

Damage is more than something to avoid. As damage accumulates on your player board, improved adrenaline actions become available, giving you greater movement and attack flexibility. When a player receives enough damage, their board is scored before they respawn and return to the arena.

Scoring rewards players for contributing damage to opponents, with additional importance placed on who dealt damage first and who delivered the final hit. Because defeated players return to play, the action continues while the value of repeatedly scoring the same opponent changes over the course of the game.

The double-sided board can be arranged into four different arena configurations, while 21 weapon cards and 24 powerup cards create varied tactical possibilities from game to game.

With quick diceless combat, tactical positioning and constantly shifting targets, Adrenaline delivers an energetic strategy experience built around movement, timing and making the most of every weapon in your arsenal.
