Human Punishment: The Beginning
Players take roles in a near-future struggle where human factions, covert Machine agents, and other antagonists pursue competing objectives. Over 3–6 players, most work toward human survival and resource goals while hidden Machines and neutral factions attempt to sabotage, corrupt, or pursue their own agendas. Gameplay mixes semi-cooperative play, social deduction, and pick-up-and-deliver mechanics: players gather and move resources, complete missions, and use information and voting to expose or protect suspects. A modular linking system allows this standalone box to be combined with another compatible game for expanded scenarios and persistent outcomes.
