Holdout
In Holdout, you will be building your wasteland home in order to make it suitable for daily life, including sources of water, food, and proper shelter. Realizing that there is strength in numbers, and through an innate desire to help other survivors, you hope to bring others into your settlement to form a cooperative community. Your ingenuity will be challenged, as creating something from nothing is not easily done. Your settlement will be a proud bastion of hope for the scattered survivors of the wasteland - and a target for the marauding Raiders who do not seek to help, but to destroy.
To win the game, you must achieve the goals for your chosen scenario by the end of six game rounds. These goals usually involve having achieved certain levels of resource development.
