About the game
Hey everyone! Ready to give your Anachrony adventure an extra boost? Introducing The Sentry Post, a small package that brings a new action space straight from the Pocket Dragon Kickstarter campaign. If you enjoy Anachrony and want another strategic option for Phase 5, this card is for you. It adds a new hexagon to the main board, unlocking a powerful action that lets you reset your free action markers. You know, those markers you use to optimize your plays? Well, here you can get them all back at once! And it doesn't stop there: you can also activate an exosuit at no cost and even score 1 victory point. It's a lifesaver for those who love to plan and execute complex moves. The beauty of this expansion is its accessibility; any worker can go there without restrictions, but only one exosuit can occupy the space at a time. For those playing the solo mode against the Chronobot, it will also use this action, ensuring the game remains challenging. If you already master Anachrony and seek more tactical depth, The Sentry Post is a welcome addition that adds an extra layer of management and scoring opportunities without overcomplicating the general rules. It's the kind of addition that makes you think about new action sequences and further optimize your strategy.
