The Dice Tower review

"Best game of the year...easily!"

- Tom Vasel

The Opinionated Gamers review

"The best battle games have a clever confrontation mechanic, and I love the one employed in Cry Havoc. The different objectives make for fascinating choices, especially for the attacker, and resolving battles is the best part of the game."

- Chris Wray

Tabletop Gaming review

"The most fun, compelling feature of the game is how it handles combat resolution. "

Board Game Quest review

"The asymmetrical nature of the game just begs for it to be explored more. Some factions do seem easier to play than others, but that makes me just want to dive into each one even more."

- Tony Mastrangeli

Shut Up & Sit Down

"[...] the thrill of Cry Havoc is how much there is to discover, and to experiment with, and how it all feels good."

- Steve Holt

Game Informer

„Word on Cry Havoc is very hot, praising its asymetric factions, deckbuilding features, area control objectives, and gorgeus sci-fi miniatures.”

Geek & Sundry

„While the sci-fi veneer and slick miniatures will draw you in, stay for the excellent combat system and breadth of faction to explore.”

AFTERMATH

Cry Havoc: Aftermath provides higher replayability, new skills for each faction, and completely new mechanics – Leaders, Universal Structures, and Scoring Events.

Leaders

Instead of using the base Faction board, players choose which Faction they want to play and draw 1 Leader from this Faction.

Universal Structures

Using the standard Build Action, players may may build a Universal Structure as long as there are Structure tokens remaining for the Structure they wish to build. Universal Structures are controlled by the Faction which currently controls the Region. If a Player loses control of a Region with a Universal Structure, the Structure remains and the new controlling Player now may use this Structure.

Scoring Events

The game now lasts for 5 Rounds with one Event each Round. If a player moves their score marker past an Event, do not move the passed event. At the start of each Round, simply reveal the next Event token and resolve it. When an Event instructs you to draw a Scoring card, reveal the top card of the Scoring deck and resolve it.
