An Age Contrived

Imagine you are a god in a world that still lives in darkness. Your power only grows if mortals believe in you. In An Age Contrived you take on that role and try to become the most important god of the pantheon. You help the world move forward step by step, from dark times to a true civilisation, while making sure people keep believing in you. Every player gets their own board and a special device that sends your energy into the world of mortals. With that energy you build monuments, claim new territory and earn achievements that keep counting for the rest of the game. On your turn you charge your device and decide what it will do, or you use the stored energy to take several actions in a row. Everything is open on the table, so there is no luck in the game. Your choices together decide how the story unfolds. The board looks different every game, and there are five ways to build up your engine. You make long-term plans, but you have to adjust them whenever the situation changes. For fans of meaty games who like to think deeply, this is an evening you will talk about for a long time. You can also play solo.
