COMPLETE

Collect the right Item cards to satisfy your Objective cards. You need to be Healthy to complete one. Finish 3 Objectives to trigger end game.

Eugene

Eugene grew up on doomsday prep and never had to unlearn it. Gas mask, teardrop tattoos, zero chill. Each tear represents someone he's bested in the wasteland. The lucky ones remember his parting words: "gg kid, get out of my lobby."

Special Ability

When Eugene completes an objective, he can force any one player to discard a card of his choice from their hand.

Dr. Sprengen

Dr. Sprengen was a renowned physician before the blast. The explosion changed his appearance permanently. Pink skin, elongated frame, six eyes. He doesn't talk about it. He's still the best doctor in the wasteland and he knows it. Treatment is non-negotiable. So is the bill.

Special Ability

When Dr. Sprengen heals another player, he takes one card from their hand as payment. No negotiations.

KARRÖT

Karröt is a mutant humanoid carrot. Radiation did that. Solitary, aggressive, and widely feared across the wasteland. Nobody knows where it sleeps. Nobody has been brave enough to find out.

Special Ability

Karrot can attack on any player's turn, not just their own.

Jake McSqueeze

Jake McSqueeze carries a humanitarian flag everywhere he goes. He's dedicated, selfless, and genuinely wants to help. He just can't always stomach it. Don't mention the vomiting. He's trying his best.

Special Ability

Jake McSqueeze can heal himself with just 1 can of beans instead of 2. However, due to his squeamish tendencies, he cannot use Medical Kits on himself, only on other players.

Helga

Helga doesn't chase people. She sets traps and waits. As she's gotten older, she's taken in two cats despite being severely allergic to them. They're her early warning system. She's decided the sneezing is worth it.

Special Ability

Any player who attacks Helga and loses the combat roll must let Helga take one card of her choice from their hand.

Brayden

Brayden was in IT before everything went sideways. He spent most of his free time making elaborate cosplay armor, which turned out to be excellent preparation for the apocalypse. He built his current suit by hand. He will tell you exactly how he made it whether you ask or not. Somehow everyone still likes him.

Special Ability

Brayden can insert himself into any trade between two other players as a third party, offering one of his own cards to redirect the deal.

Blast Radius (the card game) isn't currently for sale. Given economic conditions, we're focusing our efforts on the mobile application. Ideally, we can use any revenue from the app to fund a production run of the final version of the physical deck. We'll update this section as things change. Things are moving!
