Future Imperfect is a modular extension for Anachrony, with four new modules that expand its capabilities across new horizons. These modules can be played on their own, but they are also compatible with each other and with current and future Anachrony modules and expansions. Neutronide Buildings offers a set of 4 new buildings that become increasingly effective the more power plants you have. The Hypersync module gives you a Capital action to perform without actually placing an Exosuit and in the future use the new Hypersync action to let your placement affect the past. This puts serious strain on the space-time continuum, increasing the risk of paradoxes, but often the risk is worth the reward and flexibility. This module is supported for 1-4 players (Fractures of Time expansion required for solo play.) With the Quantum Loops module you are no longer limited to warping from your own timeline: the module opens up parallel universes where resources are more plentiful, the locals are eager to join your cause, or their technology allows you to shorten your own travels through time... The possibilities multiply with a new Warp Tile that gives access to the powerful Quantum Effect cards, but beware - to close a loop to a parallel universe, you'll need a real breakthrough... This module is supported for 1-4 players (Fractures of Time expansion required for solo play .) The Intrigues of the Council module simulates the political machinations of the World Council and brings two new aspects to the game: a new layer of player interaction and customizable endgame scores influenced by the players. By sending Exosuits to the right place at the right time, players can receive bonus resources and compete to build a tableau of Agenda tiles, which replaces the base game's endgame condition score. This module is recommended for 3 or 4 players. The Games Friends: " Future Imperfect is a great expansion to Anachrony. The different modules make the replayability even greater. Especially the module where you directly influence the end goals is cleverly designed and changes the game considerably, without being extremely complicated. .A must for fans of the base game!

You and your fellow players are enthusiastic and curious astronomers, determined to explore and understand the constellations of the mysterious night sky. You are willing to help each other and share your discoveries, but in the end only one of you will become famous enough to be remembered throughout history. Astra is a clever mix of tactics and strategy, with streamlined and intuitive rules that make it easy to pick up and play quickly. A game of Astra consists of a number of player turns until a certain number of Constellation cards are drawn, at which point, after an endgame count, the player with the most Fame points wins. During your player turn you can choose to observe or rest. The Observe action allows you to spend Stardust to discover stars on the Constellation cards with your marker. You may only mark stars in a straight solid line, but you may spend telescope tokens to start new observations. Once you mark the last star in a constellation, you'll grab the map of the night sky, granting you a powerful reusable ability for the rest of the game. But other players also benefit from the discovery: based on the number of stars they have marked, they can choose one of the immediate benefits of the card (Boons) the moment it is discovered. The Rest action not only allows you to replenish your Stardust to its maximum capacity, but also reactivates all your card abilities corresponding to the currently active Sphere. Your card skills are very powerful and strategically possible, so a well-timed rest action can give you a huge advantage.
