These visions also invoked an increasing sense of empathy and fellowship between these people - a bond much stronger than their Path affiliation. A mass exodus from the Path capitals took place over the course of the first Era, and the first pioneers discovered that the Time Rift in their visions not only exists, but it holds the foundations of a new civilization, one that may eventually set all people of New Earth down a new path - the Path of Unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplorers from the Path of Unity soon discovered a secluded mountain valley where the enigmatic flora not only survived the impact, but it mutated and evolved by the asteroid's toxic Neutronium dust. The resulting flower-like crystal formations synthesize a substance called Flux, which is collected and studied by the Harvesters, the valley's mysterious inhabitants. The Harvesters are willing to share the secrets of the Flux technology with the Paths, but remain silent about its side effects, which only they are immune to...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the alternate storyline of Fractures of Time, Anachrony's first major expansion, the four original Paths and the newly formed, sanguine Path of Unity have gained access to a powerful new technology called Flux. Flux Cores can be acquired in the Amethynia Valley, the expansion's new main zone. By using the Flux Cores to power up their Fracture device, players may move (\"Blink\") one of their already placed Exosuits to a new action space instead of placing a new one, or immediately retrieve some of their Workers or Free Action markers. This can result in never-before-seen action efficiency, but just like the Time Rifts, the Flux technology is a double-edged sword. Without a sufficiently advanced Fracture device, overusing it can cause Temporal Glitches; hectic negative effects such as shutting down the Exosuit bay slots, temporarily disabling buildings, or making players more prone to Anomalies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valley holds other secrets as well. The Operators' advanced technology allows players to remove the Temporal Glitches, upgrade their classic Path tech with new quirks, and even enlist the Harvesters themselves as a powerful new class of Workers, who are immune to the Flux's side effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Mindclash Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56049158816122,"sku":"ZBG-MINAN11","price":38.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Anachrony-Fractures-of-Time-Expansion.jpg?v=1760980800"},{"product_id":"anachrony-future-imperfect","title":"Anachrony: Future Imperfect","description":"\u003cp\u003eFuture Imperfect is a modular expansion for Anachrony, with four new modules expanding the possibilities beyond new horizons.

Thanks to the recently discovered time travel technology, players may borrow resources and workforce from the future to improve their Path stronghold, construct Buildings and Superprojects, muster Exosuits, and prepare for the impending cataclysm. When it eventually happens, the well-prepared Paths can evacuate the collapsing World Capital - and when the dust settles, they may rise to take its place. Anachrony is widely acclaimed by both reviewers and players. It received multiple Game of the Year nominations and is currently in the Top 70 on BGG with an average rating of 8.1. The game returns in 2019 with a new edition and a significantly lower MSRP, focusing on the core elements of the gameplay. All previously sold expansions, modules and miniatures are still available separately, and two new expansions will be released in 2019. Anachrony features fourunique types of workers(each with their own strengths and weaknesses), and two different ways to place them. Your workers can operate freely within your Paths stronghold, but to venture out to the valuable World Capital slots they have to pilot your Exosuits, which are in a short supply. Thanks to the time travel technology, you know about the coming cataclysm, and you can borrow resources from the future to prepare for it. As the game progresses, traveling back to earlier eras and returning these resources can earn you points, while neglecting it can result in Anomalies ravaging your base! The cataclysm occurring mid-game devastates the World Capital. This makes its worker placement slots single-use but more powerful, and opens up the Evacuation action as a potential reward for your long-term strategy. The competition for these new slots adds even more excitement to the endgame. Each Path has a rich backstory and features two different Leaders, two Evacuation conditions (your long-term goal), and two different layer board configurations. These can be mixed and matched at will to ensure that the game always feels fresh and different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Mindclash Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56049850057082,"sku":"ZBG-MINAN08","price":49.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/ZBG-MINAN08.jpg?v=1760983781"},{"product_id":"anachrony-exosuit-commander-pack-expansion","title":"Anachrony: Exosuit Commander Pack Expansion","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Exosuit Commander Pack adds 30 super-sized (55 mm tall) Exosuit miniatures to the Anachrony base box, plus the Pioneers of New Earth expansion, and the Guardians of the Council module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Upgrade your Exosuit tokens to 24 detailed, super-sized miniatures, with a designated cockpit slit for your workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Guardians of the Council adds 6 new Exosuit minis and a whole new module to Anachrony.

Earth is recovering from a catastrophic explosion that exterminated the majority of the population centuries ago and made most of the surface uninhabitable due to unearthly weather conditions. The surviving humans organized along four radically different ideologies, called Paths, to rebuild the world as they see fit: Harmony, Dominance, Progress, and Salvation. Followers of the four Paths live in a fragile peace, but in almost complete isolation next to each other. Their only meeting point is the last major city on Earth, now just known as the Capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy powering up the mysterious Time Rifts that opened in the wake of the cataclysm, each Path is able to reach back to specific moments in their past. Doing so can greatly speed up their progress, but too much meddling may endanger the time-space continuum. But progress is more important than ever before: if the mysterious message arriving through the Time Rift is to be believed, an even more terrible cataclysm is looming on the horizon: an asteroid bearing the mysterious substance called Neutronium is heading towards Earth. Even stranger, the scientists show that the energy signature of the asteroid matches the explosion centuries ago...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnachrony features a unique two-tiered worker placement system.

The elapsed turns are measured on a dynamic Timeline. By powering up the Time Rifts, players can reach back to earlier turns to supply their past \"self\" with resources. Each Path has a vastly different objective that rewards it with a massive amount of Victory Points when achieved. The Paths' settlements will survive the impact, but the Capital will not. Whichever Path manages to collect most points will be the new seat for the Capital, thus the most important force left on the planet...\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Asmodee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56050156306810,"sku":"ZBG-MINAN05","price":47.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/Anachrony.jpg?v=1760985051"}],"url":"https:\/\/zatu.com\/collections\/anachrony.oembed","provider":"Zatu Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
