Pairs well with
The future is broken. Only you can rewrite time.
In Anachrony you lead one of four Paths that have inherited a wounded planet. Men live among ruins and opposing ideologies, while a new cataclysm looms: A neutronium-laden asteroid threatens Earth, with the same energy that destroyed it centuries before. But a mysterious power turns the rules on their head: the Time Rifts allow you to send resources back in time, risking breaking the continuum… just to survive.
With an innovative two-tier worker placement system, you will send Scientists, Engineers, Administrators and Genies in key locations around the world, protected by imposing Exosuits that amplify their abilities. The choices are tough: what to sacrifice, what to borrow from the past, how to manage the bill that time will eventually present. Each Path has different objectives and only those who can combine resources, strategy and courage will guide the destiny of the new Capital.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
– Each game unfolds in Eras (up to 7). In each Era, players reveal new projects, upgrade available resources, and prepare for the upcoming asteroid impact.
– Players can upgrade their exosuits by spending energy cores. Exosuits allow workers to leave their capital to perform actions on the main board.
– Through worker actions , performed in turns, you can construct buildings and superprojects, recruit new specialists, conduct scientific research, extract resources, trade, and purify water. Some buildings and abilities allow you to manipulate time.
– The Time Travel mechanic allows you to “request” resources from the future (Warp) to gain immediate advantages, but they will later have to be returned: if you don’t do so, you risk Paradoxes and Anomalies that occupy building spaces and cause you to lose points.
– After the asteroid impact (after the fourth era), the Capital begins to collapse, and the option to Evacuate opens up according to your faction's specific conditions. At the end of the game, Victory Points from buildings, superprojects, time travel, morale, evacuation, and final objectives are tallied: whoever has the most Victory Points guides the future of humanity.

Anachrony With Miniatures
FROGBUNDLE
Anachrony - Exo-Armor Miniatures
Time is your instrument, but also your condemnation.
A future destroyed. A past to be conquered. A war for the fate of humanity.
Anachrony – Travel through time, save the future… or dominate its ruins
In the 26th century , Earth is only an echo of its former self. Cataclysms, explosions, temporal anomalies. But you are one of the leaders of a new humanity, organized along opposing ideological paths: Harmony, Domination, Progress, and Salvation .
And when time shatters, you discover you can send resources and choices into the past . Your past. But playing with time comes at a price.
Between time travel, exoskeletons, specialists, incoming asteroids, and divergent futures , every turn is a breath stolen from extinction.
You can rewrite history, but can you avoid being trapped in it?
A narrative management game where every choice leaves a scar over time
Anachrony is a strategic board game for 1–4 players that blends resource management, worker placement, and time travel into a deep, immersive, and tension-filled experience.
Players lead one of four Paths of Humanity , each with unique powers and goals, in a race against time to prepare for an impending catastrophic impact . This is all managed on a dynamic timeline , where resources can be “borrowed” from the future to the past, potentially creating temporal paradoxes .
The presence of Exosuits , dual actions , and the growing tension for the end of the world make each game unique. A masterpiece for heavy gamers , for those who love long-term planning , difficult choices, and deep storytelling.
Loans from the future: but then you'll have to pay them back...
One of the most ingenious aspects of Anachrony is the ability to "time travel" to receive resources from future turns . A strategic boost that seems like a godsend... until the time comes to repay the time debt , or else paradoxes can ruin your plans.
A brilliant mechanic that blends narrative and gameplay , where every present choice has a past shadow and a future consequence . Time is truly the most precious (and dangerous) resource.
