Phoenix New Horizon is a euro-style strategy board game set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity returns to the surface after decades of underground survival. Following a devastating nuclear disaster, players must help rebuild civilization and restore life to Earth.

Players take control of a team of commandos tasked with recolonizing the planet. Over the course of four rounds, they construct regenerators and buildings, increase population, and complete various objectives that change from game to game.

The core gameplay revolves around efficient worker placement and resource management. Players assign their commandos to different actions while specializing them to unlock stronger abilities at the cost of flexibility. Strategic planning and careful optimization are essential to success.

Completing missions assigned by governing authorities grants additional actions, allowing players to expand their options and adapt to evolving challenges. Phoenix New Horizon delivers a deep and rewarding strategic experience focused on rebuilding, development, and long-term planning.
