The Interests of Bedlam- a medium resource collection game. In which players act as political interests of Bedlam manipulating the regions of Bedlam to gather resources and gain influence. 1-5 players, 30 min playtime (+10/player). Each player unlocks asymmetric abilities & build influence as they gain resources through card manipulation. They also compete for global objectives to gain additional influence.
