Load Shedding

When the lights go out, the real game begins! Load Shedding is a chaotic set-collection and sabotage card game about collecting alternate power sources and keeping your home running during a blackout, all while sabotaging your neighbours’ chances. Players race to assemble working Power Sets from generators, solar panels, and battery backups while dealing with sneaky sabotage, sudden outages, and a constant ticking clock. Every turn counts. Will you stock up on backup power, pull a clever trick, or drain someone else’s supply? Easy to learn but full of sneaky moves and hilarious twists, Load Shedding is inspired by the real-life power outages that are all too familiar in Pakistan. It turns the frustration of a power cut into a frantic, laugh-filled battle to stay one step ahead of the dark. —description from the designer
