About the game

What you do in a play session

Anachrony is a complex strategy game where you lead a faction in a post-apocalyptic future, fighting for survival against an impending cataclysm. The game stands out with its unique two-tiered worker placement system: to access resources in devastated areas or travel to the Capital, you need not only specialists (engineers, scientists, etc.) but also exosuits to protect and enhance them. And believe me, both are luxury items!

Games unfold over 4 to 7 turns, depending on when the apocalypse decides to show up (unless you can postpone the inevitable, of course!). Time is measured on a dynamic timeline, where you can even use time rifts to send resources to your past 'self', a mind-bending time travel mechanic. Each faction has distinct objectives that yield many victory points, and the most successful survivor will become the planet's new Capital. The Leader Box, in turn, is a treat for the most dedicated fans, adding exclusive components and the Pioneers of New Earth module, along with exosuit miniatures and thematic packaging according to your preferred faction (Dominance, Progress, Salvation, or Harmony). It's a dense game with many tactical and strategic decisions, ideal for those who enjoy a challenge and a well-developed sci-fi theme.
