Bunker The Board Game · English Edition

Bunker is a survival party game for 4 to 16 players by the publisher Economicus. A global catastrophe is coming, and the bunker only has room for half of the group. Each player gets a random character — occupation, age, health, hobbies, belongings and a secret fact — reveals it card by card and argues why they deserve a place. Every round the group votes someone out. A game takes 30 to 60 minutes.

This is the original face-to-face card game by Economicus — the one that started it all. Bunker Online is a separate digital adaptation you play in the browser. The board game works together with its own companion app, which is unlocked with the unique access code from the box.

There are many counterfeit copies of Bunker online. Every genuine box is published by Economicus and contains an access card with a unique code for the companion app. Counterfeits have no valid code, so the app stays locked and you won’t be able to play. We are listed as an official retailer on the publisher’s website and sell only genuine boxes.

Yes. Bunker is designed to be played together with its companion app: it presents the disasters with a cinematic voice-over, runs the discussion timer and plays the Survival Story finale. The app itself is free on iOS and Android, and the unique access code from your box unlocks it — no extra purchase needed.

Contact the publisher’s support team at @eccs_games on Telegram and send a photo of your access card — they’ll help. Keep in mind that a code can be linked to a limited number of devices per month, and switching browsers or clearing the browser cache counts as a new device.

Yes. This is a separate English edition, not a Russian box with a translation sheet: the cards, the rulebook, the voting pad and the app voice-over are all in English.

Of course — download the English rulebook (PDF).

Bunker works with 4 to 16 players. It really shines with 6 to 12 — enough voices for alliances, betrayals and a proper debate. With 16 it turns into a full-blown show.

Usually 30 to 60 minutes. Nobody is knocked out early: players voted out of the bunker stay at the table and play the finale, so no one sits around waiting.

The box says 18+. Some cards joke about adult topics and the humour gets dark. If you play with a younger or more sensitive group, simply take out any cards you don’t want before the game.

We ship from Riga, Latvia, across the EU, to the UK and to many other countries. Open the cart and pick your country — you’ll see the delivery price before you pay.

Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to return it, in line with EU consumer law.

All Bunker games use the same card format, so decks can be mixed. Keep in mind that the other boxes — Bunker-B, Generation Alpha and First Shelter — are currently printed in Russian.
