About this board game
Chrono Fall: At the End of Space and Time is a cooperative space adventure for 1–4 players, with an approximate play time of 150 minutes. Humanity’s experiments with time have collapsed the space-time continuum, and dangerous rifts are now devouring existence.
As captains of the SPARCs, you must travel across a large hex-based map of space to scan and neutralize rifts. At the same time, cargo ships need safe routes to deliver resources from other planets to Earth, where the Protector is being built as humanity’s chance of survival.
Every decision competes for your limited action points and energy. Fly your SPARC, scan rifts to advance science, neutralize threats, or collect energy crystals needed to power your actions. Crystals can also be charged for more effective actions, but charged crystals are destroyed afterward.
- Cooperative crisis management: Coordinate your actions and respond to an escalating threat.
- Technology advancement: Scan rifts to improve your navigation and neutralization skills.
- Dynamic rift emergence: Rifts appear unpredictably through dice rolls and can spread through several mechanisms.
- Time manipulation: Use the Chrono-Matrix to foresee upcoming events and alter their order.
Event cards reveal what is coming, giving you a chance to intervene by swapping cards and reducing the impact of future catastrophes. However, changing the future has a cost: every intervention creates additional rifts on the board.
Choose from several SPARCs, each with individual skills, and assign them to the challenges ahead. In Chrono Fall: At the End of Space and Time, your team must balance exploration, research, energy, transport, and risk to complete the Protector before the final collapse.
