About this expansion

Anachrony: The Sentry Post is a 2018 promotional addition for Anachrony, a 1–4-player game with a 120-minute play time. This card introduces a new Hex space for use during Phase 5, the Action Rounds.

Place the Sentry Post next to the main board, within reach of all players. During an Action Round, a player may send any worker to this location without restriction. However, only one exosuit may be present at the Sentry Post at any given time.

The Sentry Post provides several useful effects in one action. The player may remove all Free Action markers from their player board, including markers on buildings and superprojects. This makes those Free Actions, along with their markers, available again.

  • Remove all Free Action markers from the player board.
  • Power up one exosuit at no cost, if able.
  • Score 1 victory point.

These effects make the Sentry Post a dedicated location for restoring access to Free Actions while also supporting exosuit use and victory-point scoring. Its availability adds another option to the Phase 5 action spaces without restricting which type of worker may be placed there.

When playing against the Chronobot solo opponent, the location has a specific additional rule. The Chronobot takes the Sentry Post the first time in each round that it is unable to take any other action. Even when taking this location, the Chronobot gains 2 water and scores 1 victory point.

The Sentry Post was originally given free as part of the Pocket Dragon Kickstarter campaign and is also available through the publisher’s official webshop as part of the Promo Pack. Anachrony: The Sentry Post adds a compact, clearly defined location to the game’s action-round choices.
