About this board game
After Us is a deck-building and resource management game for 1–6 players, with play time of about 60 minutes. Set in 2083, it takes place decades after humankind has vanished and nature has reclaimed the Earth.
Players lead tribes of apes that have continued to evolve, gather together, master human items, and pursue knowledge. Each tribe begins with tamarins, and its leader must guide the group toward collective intelligence.
The game features an original, intuitive combo system. Each turn, combine your cards to collect resources and gain victory points, then use your progress to attract new apes to your tribe.
- Begin with tamarins and develop your evolving tribe.
- Combine cards to trigger resource and victory point gains.
- Attract powerful gorillas, resourceful orangutans, versatile chimpanzees, and wise mandrills.
- Race to reach 80 points and claim victory.
Every new addition expands the possibilities of your tribe as you work toward a shared goal. Resource management and carefully combined cards drive your progress through this resurgent natural world.
With its distinctive setting and focus on evolving ape societies, After Us offers a race for knowledge and collective intelligence. The first player to obtain 80 points wins the game.
