The New Era

About this board game

The New Era is a 2011 board game for 2–5 players, with an approximately 60-minute play time, set in the postapocalyptic world of Neuroshima.

Four factions have grown and expanded their boundaries, making conflict unavoidable. As the Mutants Union demonstrates the power to make rocks roll and attack, the other factions respond quickly. The New Era begins with war on the horizon.

This standalone expansion for 51st State adds more than 80 new cards and introduces a fifth faction: The Hegemony, a violent band of criminals. It can also be played on its own, making it accessible as a separate game while offering a way to combine it with 51st State.

New rules for direct interaction make the game more aggressive and engaging. Players can invade one another and sign deals with opponents’ locations, creating fresh choices and difficult decisions as the factions’ conflict intensifies.

• More than 80 new cards
• A new fifth faction: The Hegemony
• Rules for invasions and deals with opponents’ locations
• Wooden components and a new victory points board
• Polished and improved iconography
