Anachrony – Essential Edition is a strategic worker placement & engine-building board game by Mindclash Games in which 2–4 players control futuristic factions. In a post-apocalyptic future, you’ll gather resources, deploy exosuits, and travel through time to guide your civilization toward survival and dominance.
How do you play?
In each round, players assign workers to various locations: opening time rifts, gathering resources, upgrading their exosuits, or preparing for the asteroid impact. The time travel mechanism allows you to borrow resources from the future, which you must repay later—or face paradoxes. Victory is achieved by being the most effective leader after the World Capital’s collapse.
Why is this game a must-have?
Anachrony offers a compelling mix of tight strategic planning, thematic gameplay, and innovative mechanics. Each faction (Harmony, Dominance, Progress, Salvation) offers unique abilities, enhancing replayability. Perfect for experienced gamers who enjoy complex, narrative-driven experiences with asymmetrical strategy and time travel dynamics.
