Scorpion Supreme is dead and the Subcommanders in the Scorp Corps are staking their claim to the title. In Ruthless 86, you take on the role of a brash, outrageous 80s cartoon villain, like steampunk pirate Molly Roger, the enigmatic and unknowable Sylence, or Tyrannoczar, a super soldier cloned from the DNA of history’s greatest rulers plus a T-Rex. Prove to your rivals that you deserve to inherit the Scorpion Supreme title from your mysteriously departed leader. Win the loyalty of a legion of disposable Scorpion Soldiers and send them on Missions around the World. Expand and fortify your HexQuarters, your remote lair. Commandeer your evil organization’s Doomsday Devices. Stab backs, 86 your enemies, and, most of all, get Ruthless. Ruthless 86 is a dice builder worker placement game. Recruit and deploy Troopers to battle stations in your remote HexQuarters, or combine six on a die to form a unit and deploy them on Missions across the World. Successful Missions expand your reach and Fortify your HexQuarters. When you feel you've built up a strong enough army, deploy to The Ranks and attempt to be the first to rise to the top and become the new Scorpion Supreme. —description from the designer
