The dossier

Bunker Cards Explained

Every survivor hides seven dossier cards and two special orders. Here's what each type means once it hits the table.

Seven dossier cards stay hidden until revealed: profession, health, biology, hobby, additional skill, human quality and phobia. Two special orders can be played once and reveal themselves when used.

Profession

Your main survival argument: medical, technical, social, practical or wonderfully suspicious.

Paramedic

Health

A strength, condition or liability. It can save your pitch or make the vote smell blood.

Iron Immune System

Hobby

Side skills that become surprisingly useful when the world is broken.

Scrap Metal Welding

Additional skill

A learned ability outside your profession: repairs, negotiation, survival craft, leadership or another edge.

Hand-Crank Radio

Human quality

A personal trait that changes how the table reads your risk, loyalty and usefulness.

Reads lips from across a crowded room

Phobia

A fear that can turn the perfect survivor into a risk in the wrong bunker.

Fear of Deep Water

Special order

Two one-use orders: reveal secrets, cancel votes, gain immunity, swap cards or amplify your ballot.

Background Check

Biology

Gender, age and fertility are a hidden dossier card now; reveal it when the table needs biological facts.
