ANACHRONY - FRACTURES OF TIME - DENTS & DINGS DISCOUNT

***THIS COPY HAS SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BOX***

***SEE PICTURE ABOVE***

Since the Paths' Time Rifts powered up for the first time on the Day of Reminiscence, masses of people across New Earth have been seeing visions of a fifth Time Rift hovering over the eerie Ground Zero of the impact, waiting to be discovered. 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.

Explorers 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...

In 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.

The 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.

.Anachrony Essential Edition: The core Anachrony experience - the 2-4 player base game with revamped character art.

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 Path’s 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.
