This game lets you simulate a struggle to build a home for global warming refugees north of the Arctic Circle, on Russia’s Novaya Zemlya island. The game starts after your daring band of environmental activists have captured Novaya Zemlya, and have set up refugee camps, offshore wind turbines and greenhouses. Of course, Russia wants its island back, and is attacking Novaya Zemlya on multiple fronts. To win, you will need to hold off the Russians for 100 turns. To stop the Russians, you must develop new crops that grow fast in low light environments to feed your growing refugee population. If you cannot take refugees off of the hands of nations further south, you will lose international support. And you need international support to buy the weapons that you require to fight the Russians. You will also need to counter Russian efforts to meddle in the internal politics of your allies and undermine international support for your cause. Of course, you also need electricity to power your vertical farms and run your genetic research labs, so make sure that the Russians don’t capture too many of your offshore wind turbines. The game’s card driven mechanics will let you figure out how to strike a balance between these competing priorities. Good luck.

Great! It's working again

africacrossgames responds:

Ok, I uploaded a new version that should work.

Awesome game! I would love to see more; more cards, more maps. Worth every second of the hour I spent. Took a few tries to learn. And RNGesus is RNG(randomness) and Jesus put together meaning the ability of random chance to influence winning and losing.

africacrossgames responds:

Ahh....I always assumed Neptune controlled random number generation.

Lots more games like this at asymgames.com

Not a bad little game. Challenging AF but once you learn that you HAVE to rush land or sea plots you can handle it as long as RNJesus doesn't Fuk you

africacrossgames responds:

Thanks! Who is RNJesus?

Almost every other turn the Russian invades, but there are just not enough military resource cards for the player to fight.

There are some interesting mechanics hidden behind a massively RNG game. Military advances and Quantum Decryption are by far the most important cards, while most others are extremely weak (such as RuBisCo Hacking doing literally nothing at all because there are no cards that benefit from [L] tiles). There's no time to get off the ground and try slower strategies because the player starts with almost nothing.
