Anachrony: Fractures of Time

Players lead one of five rival Paths striving to rebuild civilization after a cataclysm, exploring a new mountain valley and harvesting a strange crystalline substance called Flux. On each turn players assign workers and deploy exosuits to action spaces, acquire Flux Cores, and power a Fracture device to either place or “blink” an already placed exosuit to a different action space, retrieve workers, or trigger other effects. Using Flux grants powerful efficiencies but risks Temporal Glitches that impose penalties unless the Fracture device is upgraded. New options include Harvesters as special workers, upgrades to Path technology, tools to remove glitches, and a solo mode.
