Anachrony: Fractures of Time

Anachrony: Fractures of Time is the first major expansion for the strategic board game Anachrony, designed by Richard Amann, Viktor Peter, and Dávid Turczi, and published by Mindclash Games. This expansion introduces new mechanics, a fifth faction, and additional components that enhance the base game's depth and replayability.

Game Overview:

In Fractures of Time, the original four Paths—Salvation, Progress, Harmony, and Dominance—are joined by a new faction, the Path of Unity. This expansion centers around the discovery of Flux technology, a powerful yet unstable advancement that allows players to manipulate time and space. Players can acquire Flux Cores in the new Amethynia Valley zone, enabling them to perform a "Blink" action, moving an already placed Exosuit to a new action space or retrieving workers and markers immediately. However, overusing Flux can lead to Temporal Glitches, causing negative effects such as shutting down Exosuit bays, disabling buildings, or increasing the likelihood of Anomalies.

Key Features:

• New Faction – Path of Unity: This faction introduces unique strategies and six super-sized (55mm) miniatures, offering fresh gameplay dynamics.
• Flux Technology and Blinking Mechanism: Utilize Flux Cores to perform the Blink action, enhancing action efficiency but risking Temporal Glitches if overused.
• New Worker Type – Harvesters: These workers are immune to the side effects of Flux, providing strategic advantages in managing Temporal Glitches.
• Reworked Solo Mode: An improved solo experience with the Chronossus, compatible with most expansions and modules.

Components:

• Miniatures: Six super-sized Exosuit miniatures for the Path of Unity.
• Game Boards and Tiles: New locations, including the Amethynia Valley, and additional building tiles.
• Cards: Event cards, Flux cards, and new Superproject cards.
• Tokens and Markers: Flux Cores, Temporal Glitch markers, and other components to support the new mechanics.

Game Information:

• Players: 1-4
• Playtime: 90-150 minutes
• Recommended Age: 15+
• Language: English
