The LOOP

About this board game

The LOOP is a cooperative time-traveling strategy game for 1–4 players that takes about 60 minutes to play. As temporal agents, players work together across seven Eras of Spacetime to thwart the mad scientist Dr. Faux and his plans for disrupting the space-time continuum.

Players use quirky and powerful Artifact cards to complete missions, destroy clones, manage time-rending vortexes, and activate special powers. The signature LOOP mechanic lets players chain combos, while energy provides opportunities to perform additional actions and coordinate more effective turns.

Dr. Faux’s randomized movements and his cube-dropping 3D Machine keep every game unpredictable. Mounting threats demand teamwork and careful tactical decisions, as defeat can come from too many vortexes, failed missions, or simply running out of time.

• S.A.B.O.T.A.G.E.: The base mission structure.
• Sayan Supa Clones: Adds stronger clones and persistent energy cubes.
• L.A.S.E.R. Centrifuges: Restricts action types by dimension.
• Ultramachina: Introduces a multi-phase escalation with evolving threats.

Each mode offers a different challenge while preserving the game’s blend of cooperation, combo-building, and controlled chaos. The clone bag adds tension and excitement, creating a similarly unpredictable feeling to a bag-draw system.

With its retro sci-fi aesthetic, satirical humor, and puzzle-like gameplay, The LOOP delivers high replayability in a delightfully chaotic journey through time. Players must anticipate one another’s plans, manage escalating dangers, and make every action count before the final opportunity disappears.
