It swept the BoardGameGeek Golden Geek awards, even in categories where people said it shouldn’t compete (including the “Games That Aren’t Explicitly About Birds” category). What kind of game can pull that off? Dig this quick synopsis of the smash hit board game Wingspan, or watch Cassie and Izzy’s How to Play Wingspan video to learn the whole entire game.

Hi! It’s Ryan from Nights Around a Table, and this is Anachrony, a worker placement time travel game for 2-4 players. Here’s The Deal.
You and your friends play one of four different factions in a post-apocalyptic 26th century New Earth. You’ll recruit workers… to mine resources… to construct buildings… and conduct research… to build superprojects… and evacuate people from the World Capital after a meteor hits. The meteor crash makes… or will have made(?)… time travel possible, so you can even borrow stuff from yourself in the future… but in doing so, you risk causing anomalies in the space-time continuum… so you have to build power plants to travel back in time and return the stuff you borrowed to yourself in the past. At the end of the game, the World Capital collapses, and whoever has amassed the most victory points wins the game, and controls the future!
Well, does it sound interesting?
