“In a hole. Full of radiation. With no sunlight. And no food. Also sewage.”
This is Part 1 of NDP Design’s “microgame”, Vesna Thaw. It’s a fun little game (and I emphasize “little” – the rules fit on about eight pages) that has each player piloting a giant robot in post-nuclear-holocaust Soviet Russia.
The most fun part of this game was collaboratively drawing the robots:

After that, play was fun but long. We’ve broken the audio into two episodes, each about an hour and a half long.
