New Avernus is a 1-4 player, competitive apocalyptic city building board game. Over 7-10 turns of gameplay, players take up one of the four unique factions with their own starting resources, worker count, and abilities, and seek to clear the ruins of the previous cities to gain building blueprints, much needed resources, and finally to build, and fortify or beautify, your city. At the end of each turn, an Occurrence card offers aid, resources, or harrowing events on the way to revealing the Meteor card, which is somewhere in the bottom 4 cards of the Occurrence deck. When it is revealed, play stops and the meteor strikes. The meteor strikes a series of random spaces on each player's board, and when it's finally over, all surviving structures and points are counted up and a winner is decided. —description from the publisher
