An Age Contrived

In An Age Contrived, you're a god angling for the throne in the Eldranic pantheon. Your power? Directly tied to mortal belief – and let's just say these mortals are less stable than cryptocurrency. Your mission: drag these schmucks from the dark ages into civilization by building monuments and racking up believers as victory points. Each player wields a transmutation device (read: divine engine) to channel energy, the game's core currency. Spend it to dominate regions, unlock unique powers, and program actions in advance – but stay flexible, because the board reshuffles every game. This brainy eurogame blends fantasy flavor with deep strategy, where luck only factors into initial setup. Victory goes to whoever best balances engine-building, area control, and those endgame bonuses everyone forgets until the final round.
