Introduction: Command mighty Exosuits, traverse Time Rifts and lead your Path through a cataclysmic future in this epic board game! It is the late 26th century. Earth is recovering from a catastrophic explosion that exterminated the majority of the population and made most the surface uninhabitable. The surviving humans organized along four radically different ideologies: Harmony, Dominance, Progress, and Salvation. Living in isolation in the safety of their capitals, the four Paths maintain a fragile but lasting peace. Now an even more terrible cataclysm is looming on the horizon: an asteroid is heading towards Earth. But thanks to the recently discovered Time Rifts, the Paths won't be caught off-guard this time: it is up to their leaders to prepare, survive, and reunite the world under their banner once the dust settled. In Anachrony, players assume the roles of the iconic Leaders of four ideological Paths, striving not only for the supremacy and well-being of their people but also their survival. With the foreknowledge that a large asteroid is heading toward Earth, they will plan for the coming impact and prepare their Path to aid in the evacuation of the World Capital, the last independent city. While each path will prove their resilience after the devastating impact, only one will become the home of the new, re-established World Council and the superior power on New Earth. |
Features: A TWO-TIERED WORKER PLACEMENT SYSTEM: Anachrony’s worker management system features four different types of Workers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some action spaces are available to them by default while others are only accessible with a special form of enhancement and protection – the Exosuits. Workers and Exosuits are managed separately, and both are required for each Path’s success. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT THROUGH TIME: At the beginning of each Era, players are able to request resources from their own future to boost their progress. In later Eras, by powering up Time Rifts, they can send resources back in order to close the loop. However, by choosing not to do so, players take the risk of gaining temporal anomalies and the negative side effects that come with them. EXPAND, PREPARE, AND SURVIVE A CATACLYSM: Anachrony’s gameplay features a strong story arc with a game-altering turning point – an asteroid impact. This event will alter the available Actions, open up new ones, and initiate the countdown to the game’s end. With careful planning and preparation, players can even take advantage of the Impact’s effects.
