The world you know no longer exists. There is no government. No army. No civilization. The United States has collapsed, and now thirty years after the war started, new powers finally try to take control over the ruined country, try to establish a new order, try to control others and create a new country, a new state: the 51st State.

51st State is a card game in which players control one of four powers trying to build a new country. Players put new locations into play, hire leaders, and send people to work in buildings to gain resources and new skills. To do this, every card in 51st State can be used in three different ways:

  • Raze a location to gain many resources once.
  • Deal with this location to gain one resource every turn.
  • Build the location so that you can use its skill each turn.

51st State: Master Set marks the rebirth of the 51st State line, with this set containing 88 cards from the original base game, and 50 cards each from both the New Era and Winter expansions; one of these expansions can be mixed with the cards of the base game, but not both at the same time. The entire set has been rebalanced to offer a cohesive experience no matter which expansion you choose to use.

Ugly box cover, great game!

I avoided this game for so long because ofcthe dumb, WWF-looking cover art, but it's actually an outstanding, excellent game. Great tableau/engine-builder running on multi-use cards and resource conversions. Reminds me somewhat of Race for the Galaxy, but more streamlined & less clunky. Straightforward rules, quick to set-up & tear down (get little plastic containers from the dollar store) and plays pretty quickly---but provides so many decisions and combos. This game does so well at what it's trying to accomplish. Smooth, streamlined, quick-but-thinky. So elegant, quickly became one of my favorites. Great for 2 players.
