HOMESTEAD or DIE is a cooperative survival strategy game for one to eight players that takes two hours to play and is for teens and up.
Local and world events have been getting worse and worse in recent years and you are tired of fighting to survive the daily grind. With the people closest to you an idea emerges… homesteading!
Learn skills, gain experience, and build projects to grow your own food, craft supplies, and barter for what you can’t make yourself while taking great care to minimize your ecological footprint.
Will the community survive the seasonal challenges and the coming market collapse or will you die trying?
Lite worker placement and engine building mechanics placed within a cohesive and strong theme creates a delightfully fun and highly replayable game experience that is both cooperative and allows meaningful player agency.
HOMESTEAD or DIE has been in development since 2022 by Gabriel Baldwin.
The game has been submitted for consideration in the Cardboard Edison Awards 2025 competition.
There are currently 4 prototypes being blind playtested for the month of January.
