It is a stand-alone game set in the world of Capital Lux.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world of Lux is in uproar and rebels and loyalist fight for control of the capital. Who is on your side? Will your team gather enough followers to seize power? And who is true to your cause when it looks lost?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the cards dealt at the beginning of the game, players are assigned to either the Rebel team or the Loyalist team. The two teams fight for control over locations that alter the rules in that particular fight, and provide influence to the winner. Play your cards tactically to establish who is on your team, take control of locations and make sure your team has the most influence at the end of the round. But as cards change hands, allegiances can change, so who can you really trust? Perhaps you secretly switched team yourself?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe near endless combinations of locations and card distribution make for a vast number of unique situations and tactical challenges, ensuring no two games will ever feel the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt the beginning of each round, 6 locations are placed in the middle of the table and each player is dealt 9 cards. If you were dealt a rebel card, you announce that you are on the rebel team - if you do not have a rebel card, you are on the loyalist team.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe player who was dealt the \"rebel commander\" chooses a location for the first fight, and leads by playing the first card.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe game then plays like a trick taking game, but with some important differences: certain cards will alter who wins the location (assassins take out the highest card, making the second highest card win instead), flags increases the value of the current location (play them when you think a team mate will win), and infiltrators make cards switch hands (for every infiltrator symbol played, the player who played the lowest card must draw one card from the hand of the winning player). With tactical card play you can both influence who wins the location and how much it is worth. But as cards switches hands, you may not be sure who is on which team.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter all 6 locations have been won, players reveal which side they are on (if you have a rebel card, you are on the rebel team; if not, you are on the loyalist team). Players now collect followers for their controlled influence, and all players on the team that controls the most influence are awarded bonus followers. If one team has managed to gather a required number of followers, they win the game. If not, another round must be played.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-description from designer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aporta Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12716881412147,"sku":"APG008","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic4243101.jpg?v=1569320657"},{"product_id":"revive","title":"Revive","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" padding=\"1\" margin=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/helge-meissner\"\u003eHelge Meissner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/eilif-svensson\"\u003eEilif Svensson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/anna-wermlund\"\u003eAnna Wermlund\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/kristian-amundsen-ostby\"\u003eKristian Amundsen Østby\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/all\/aporta-games\"\u003eAporta Games\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90-120 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpansion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/revive-call-of-the-abyss\"\u003eRevive: Call of the Abyss\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr id=\"bgg-row\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e332772\/revive\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgg-forum-url\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/332772\/revive\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevive civilization, 5000 years after everything was destroyed.

Playing through the 5-part campaign unlocks additional contents, and once all contents have been unlocked, the game can be replayed indefinitely.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cbr\u003eAt the beginning of the game, each player gets a set of citizen cards, a tribe board, as well as a huge dual-layer player board. The tribe board shows your unique tribe ability and the ancient technologies that you may relearn during the game. The dual-layer player board is where you place your custom machines and upgrade your card slots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA main goal of the game is to reach and populate the large ancient sites.

In addition you regain your used power, so that you may activate your machines again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe multi-use cards play an important role: Each card shows a resource ability (on the top) and a special ability (on the lower part). Playing a card in one of your top slots activates the resource action; In a lower slot you activate the special ability. You may install slot modules in the card slots, and these are activated whenever you play a card matching its color. It is possible to find combinations that lets you chain cards, triggering several slot modules and abilities in one action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding factories harness the power of the surrounding terrains, advancing your marker on one of three machine tracks.
