Distop-IA (SurvAIval)

Distop-IA (SurvAIval) is a card game set in a near-future dystopia where analog objects are banned. Players take on the role of smugglers trying to transport books, toys, and cassette tapes between districts and across the border while avoiding patrolling robotic guards.

The game is played in alternating turns. On each turn, a player chooses one of their districts, picks up all the cards in it, and distributes them counterclockwise, as in a game of Mancala. Players must carefully plan how to sneak valuable goods past the guards and into rival districts. Throughout the game, alarm cards with sirens may appear, causing the guards to move and making smuggling even more difficult.

The game ends when the deck runs out or when a player has a guard in every district. Players then score points for the valuable goods they have successfully kept, but each guard eliminates one valuable card from the final score. The player with the most points wins. An advanced mode adds mission cards with scoring modifiers, along with other special cards for greater strategic depth.
