Echoes of Time - Board Game

Echoes of Time is a card game by Simone Luciani and Roberto Pellei. You assemble a party of creatures from four races: from the deep ocean, the hills, the night sky, and the tunnels underground. With that party, you conquer power sources.

The special thing is the time. You first lay your cards on your own time board, and each round the time moves one step forward. Only when a card falls off the board does it join in.

Each round, everyone slides a new time tile onto their board. On the other end, a tile falls off, and the cards on it enter your retinue. Then, players take turns placing two action cubes.

• Draw cards: you take two new cards.
• Play a card: you discard cards to place a creature on your time board.
• Advance: you move cards toward the edge of your board faster.
• Conquer and fortify: with the power of your retinue, you claim a power source or make it so strong that no one can take it from you.

Example: you play a powerful creature, but it is three tiles from the edge. Do you wait three rounds, or spend an action to bring it into your retinue sooner?

The player with the most points at the end wins.

• Planning ahead What you play now won't take effect until later. So you're always thinking a few turns ahead.
• Conquering power sources An opponent with more power can take your resources. That keeps things exciting until the end.
• Many different cards With more than a hundred cards, you create different combinations every game.
