Capstone Games Meltwater

In Meltwater, 2 players command the shattered remains of the superpowers, struggling for control of the ice. Simple diceless mechanics let players displace, corner, and isolate their opponent’s survivors. Here, hunger is a crueler weapon than gunfire, and the barren tundra can only support so many souls. And every turn, radioactive contamination pushes in from the coastline, shrinking the available space and forcing the belligerents closer and closer together.

In the end, there is only submission or annihilation, and whatever world is left.

Meltwater is a gripping 2 player game in the world of board games, set in a post-apocalyptic Antarctica where humanity clings to survival. Perfect for game night or intense sessions of strategy board games, this haunting experience challenges players aged 16+ to command survivors of opposing factions. Unlike typical card games or party games, Meltwater delivers deep strategy and tactical decisions.

In this unique board game, the coastline slowly collapses under radioactive contamination, shrinking the battlefield and pushing factions into conflict.
