Fail State

Browser-based asymmetric wargame. Four factions, 20 minutes, no install required.

Fail State is a single-player asymmetric wargame that runs in your browser. A complete operation takes around 20 minutes.

Four factions. One theatre. No neutral positions.

As the Provincial Government, you hold power without legitimacy. As the Coalition, you have a mandate that expires whether you use it or not. As the Liberation Front, you don't need to win — you need to make the state ungovernable. As Meridian Consolidated, the conflict is a balance sheet problem.

Each faction wins differently. Each one demands a completely different strategy. Four AI opponents pursue their own objectives regardless of yours.

The Political Calendar

Four scheduled events fire during every game — an international assessment, a provincial election, a mandate renewal hearing, a peace conference. Their outcomes aren't scripted. The election resolves based on actual district loyalty. The hearing reflects what Coalition has built. The board drives the narrative.

What this is

A COIN-inspired asymmetric hex wargame compressed into a 20-minute browser experience.

Four factions. Four very different ways the same conflict can end.
