Welcome to BLKOUT
Capture the FREE Rules!
While most war games can drag on for hours with complicated rules, BLKOUT delivers action-packed game-play in just 30-45 minutes with easy to learn rules.
The BLKOUT Rulebook delivers in-depth tactical combat and scenarios. Quickly highlighting everything you need to know to play the Game!
How does it play?
Fast, Hardcore, Tactical
With Models being Destroyed with the single roll of a die, Players must rely on their wits, precise positioning, and equipment to win. Forget about special rules and army building; in BLKOUT, it's all about raw tactics.
Designed by real military personnel and advisors, BLKOUT focuses on positioning and placement of models. Not expensive books and complicated rules.
Can I react to the Enemy?
Yes. We Love Conflict!
BLKOUT's innovative Conflict System ensures that the action never stops. Allowing you to react in many intuitive ways to enemy actions.
Ultimately players will engage in a dynamic roll-off, with the number of successful dice determining who gets to execute their action first. This leads to nail-biting gunfights where victory or defeat can hinge on a single dice roll, and you guessed it. The better position rolls more dice!
Is it complicated?
No. Not Even Close.
With its minimalist approach BLKOUT strips away the cumbersome mechanics that often bog down other games. Forget the tedious task of point-counting; in BLKOUT, you simply choose a force and pick three units. And when it's time for action? No drawn-out processes. Often times one roll determines the fate of your target.
Imagine walking into a convention, getting a quick overview, and diving straight into the action. That's the BLKOUT experience—uncomplicated, fast-paced, and utterly exhilarating.

THE UNIVERSE
Welcome to Abol
Humanity's only colony planet is in turmoil. As factions splintered and martial law took hold, dominant state powers began to stake their claims. Arriving 30 years earlier than expected, and much more suited to warfare than exploration.
The period known as the black out heralds the eruption of intense warfare on this nascent world. These initial confrontations are not only rapid and deadly but also pivotal, poised to shape the destiny of the entire planet in a matter of weeks.
Players will take control of these initial forces guided under much larger powers. Shaping and creating the future of this planet battle by battle.
