Humanity's survivors cluster together in a delicate network of scientific outposts and vessels housing refugees. Yet even in this final sanctuary, the Cold War persists. And our species might not endure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeltwater\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, two participants control what remains of the world powers, vying for dominion over the frozen terrain.

Each round, radiation creeps inward from the shore, diminishing viable territory and driving the adversaries ever closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, there exists only capitulation or extinction, and whatever remains of civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Capstone Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62920150876509,"sku":"CAPMW01","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/2442\/6589\/files\/capmw01-1.webp?v=1767360858","url":"https:\/\/meeplescorner.net\/products\/meltwater-board-game","provider":"Meeples Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
