Survive the City (Survival/Scavenger Game)

So here's what I have so far:

Components:

City Tiles/Cards

These make up the buildings of the city. The tile/card tells you where the door (entrance) is and how many floors the building has. If I go with tiles, the art borders with form streets when they're lined up next to each other. If I got with cards, the cards will need space between them to form the streets. The important parts are the street intersections and building entrances; these matter for movement.

I'd prefer tiles because I could have angled streets and cul-de-sacs instead of a complete grid shaped city.

Item Tiles

These are what the survivors are searching for. They are things that you can use to make other things, like spending cloth, shoe laces, and glass to make a makeshift knife. Food and water will also be tiles. Right now, I'm thinking of having all the tiles spread out, face down, on the buildings ahead of time. I haven't determined if knowing when a building will run out is important or not yet, but if so the tiles can be kept face down in a pile next to the city.

Gear Cards and Tiles

Cards are used to supply the survivors with things they need but have to build, like backpacks and clubs. It'll be very rare, but things that don't have to be built will be in here too. Tiles will only come into play once the thing is built.

Someone suggested giving survivors abilities, and I said I'd consider it if I thought it would add to the experience. After playing Last of Us, I could add abilities in the form of survival manuals that attach to survivors.

Survivor Cards

The "HP" of the game. Players will be given a starting number of survivors. The rest will be shuffled with a set of hostile survivors to form a deck. Each survivor can hold one Item tile and one Gear tile.

Throughout the game, players will have to deal with hostile/neutral survivors while searching for items. Neutrals will join your camp, but hostiles will demand something or you lose a survivor.

Right now, I thinking there's a "survivor item tile" that comes up during a search, but If I had building tiles I could have the buildings dictate whether or not a survivor is there.

Player Camp Mat

This is where players keep track of how much food/water they have left. A player's stockpile of items tiles go here.

First Player Tile

This has the turn order phases on it and it's the FP's job to maintain what the current phase is.

This next part is copy and pasted from my notes, so apologies if it's disjointed.

Turn Order

Morning (The turn order here isn't that important because no one is affecting anyone else)

Lower your Food and Water timers by 1 for every 2 survivors, plus one more for every search party still out.

This is a countdown (7f/3w). Once a timer hits zero, the player must spend one Bottled Water token or Canned Food token to reset the timer. I may add a fuel timer if it looks like the game needs it.

Take Stock

Place item tiles on your survivors face down in your Stockpile.

Set up search parties

Each party can be 1-4 members. A party can split up as long as it's in the same building, but they must exit a building together.

Relocate

You may move your camp to an adjacent building. You need at least 4 survivors to do this.

Afternoon (Each action in this phase happens before moving on to the next one, all players move before searching)

Move up to four times

Move between intersections, intersection to entrance (or vice versa), entrance to floor 1 (or vice versa). You can also move between floors in numerical order.

Search

Each floor may be searched once per day. If you're the only player in the room, take an Item tile without revealing it and add it to a search member. If there's more than one player on the same floor of a building, then the tile is turned up for everyone to see. If no players want the item, it stays there, otherwise a Conflict occurs.

Gather

Each player draws one gear card for every building in which he has a search party.

Evening (same as afternoon phase)

Move up to four times

Scavenge

The Player may Search. Remember each floor can only be searched once per day. If they cannot search, the player may draw 1 gear card instead.

Night

Hunt

Each search party loses one member unless they have a Lantern.

Raid

All players may send one search party to attempt to Raid another player's camp, starting with the first player. The party must have a lantern. The enemy camp can't be farther than six moves away from your camp. A conflict occurs with the exception that if the raiding party wins, they get to search the Camp's Stockpile and walk away with one tile per member. The defending camp automatically loses a conflict unless the have a Campfire.

I'll post more once I get Conflict down the way I want.
