I'm not sure how often I'll go back and play Fallout Shelter: The Board Game, but I know that, when I do, a fast-paced and enjoyable time awaits me, and Fallout fans shouldn't overlook it in the least. ![]() Sure, you bought the rooms, but there are no other elements that push that premise forward, and since anyone can still use rooms on your floor (albeit with a small resource fee to you), the strategy of which room you pick feels a bit more inconsequential.ĭespite those issues with the game, I had a great time building my Vault and battling it out for resources and happiness against other players, and it helps that the game is so immensely teachable and easy to learn. You purchase rooms to stick on your floor and once you add the sixth room, the game comes to an end, but you really don't feel as if it's yours in any way. Now, while the game does pack an unexpected amount of strategy into its small box, it does feel like it could've used just a bit more depth in its Vault designing elements. Another welcome element is the relatively small table footprint, as even with four players the game makes effective use of your table's space. That means the first player has first dibs on what they need most, which can definitely give them a huge advantage if they have it for a long time, so you'll want to make use of the room that gains you the first player token next turn, which doesn't cost any resources.įans of Fallout will love the game's visual aesthetic though, as the game comes in a lunchbox style tin and features tiny but adorable Vault Boy miniatures, each featuring a different design in four different colors. ![]() Each player places one of their dwellers in clockwise order, followed by as many turns as it takes to place all players' available dwellers. The Board Game version of Fallout Shelter puts more of an emphasis on resource management, and because of that, the first player token in this game is far more important than in others. You do that by strategically placing your Dwellers in different rooms on the main Vault level, as well as the other levels once they start being built, and these rooms will either net you power, food, water, items, healing, exchanges, or training. In Fallout Shelter players run an underground bunker in the Fallout universe, directing bunker inhabitants to build and manage facilities, go out on expeditions, and more, with the ultimate goal of building up the bunker.Fallout Shelter: The Board Game is pretty straightforward in its premise and goal, as up to four players will attempt to build out their six-room floor of the shelter, all the while building up enough happiness from their Dwellers to win the game. There were marked similarities between the two games. It appears that Bethesda and Behaviour Interactive, the company that developed Westworld for Warner Bros and also worked on Fallout Shelter, have reached a satisfactory agreement, with the latter likely providing payment to Bethesda. ![]() 3, 2019) - Bethesda Softworks and Behaviour Interactive jointly announced today that the parties have amicably resolved the lawsuit Bethesda brought against Behaviour and others related to the Fallout(R) Shelter and Westworld mobile games. In a lawsuit filed in a Maryland court, Bethesda called Westworld for iOS a "blatant rip-off" of its Fallout Shelter game, first released in 2015.Īs noted by our sister site Touch Arcade, the dispute between the two companies today ended in a rather boring way, with a single line press release that provides little detail on the resoluton. Last June, Bethesda filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros, accusing Warner Bros of copying popular iOS game Fallout Shelter with the Westworld game for iOS.
