Description
NEUTRONIUM EXPANSION is a hexagonal 4X strategy board game where players control Heroes of four ancient alien races, exploring the galaxy, gathering resources, building empires, and fighting for survival across infinite parallel universes. ◆ THE CORE EXPERIENCE ◆ You awaken in an unfamiliar universe with no memories. Somewhere among hexagonal sectors hides Alpha Core — an ancient station of unknown origin. Find it. Enrich your Neutronium. Build your empire. But beware: when three Paradox X artifacts are discovered, the universe collapses... and you wake up in another cycle. The twist? Your Neutronium carries over between sessions. Your knowledge grows. Each universe unlocks new mechanics — from simple exploration to full-scale warfare and diplomatic conquest. ◆ 13 PARALLEL UNIVERSES ◆ "Recovered Memories" — a unique roguelike/legacy progression system: • Universe 1-5: Learn the basics — movement, exploration, artifacts, looting, building • Universe 6-9: Expanded map, trading, colonies, combat, diplomacy • Universe 10-12: Stations, sector bonuses, the path to victory • Universe 13: All 47 mechanics active. Build the Mega-Structure. Break the cycle forever. No rulebook needed for your first game. Just roll, move, explore. Each session awakens more of your Hero's forgotten knowledge. ◆ FOUR ANCIENT RACES ◆ Build on territories marked with their colors to unlock ancestral powers: • TERANO (Pink) — Diplomats. Capture territories through patience, not war. • MI-TO (Blue) — Warriors. +1 combat strength in every battle. • IIT (Orange) — Energy masters. Build Nuclear Ports without artifact cost. • ASTERS (Green) — Architects of reality. Construct Advanced Stations. ◆ DUAL ECONOMY ◆ Neutronium (Nn) exists in two forms: • Enriched — ready to spend on construction, upgrades, and tribute • Unenriched — worthless until processed at Alpha Core Control Alpha Core. Control the galaxy. ◆ KEY FEATURES ◆ ✦ Modular hex board — every game layout is unique ✦ Meta-progression — Neutronium persists between sessions ✦ 18 hex tiles with 54 segments (territories, artifacts, radioactive deposits) ✦ 39 artifact cards + 3 Paradox X triggers ✦ 4 asymmetric races with unlockable abilities ✦ Multiple victory paths: economy, military, diplomacy ✦ Plays 2-6 players in 30-90 minutes ✦ Scales from age 7+ (simple universes) to experienced gamers (full rules) ◆ 25 YEARS IN THE MAKING ◆ Started in 1998 as a hand-drawn Monopoly variant in Kazakhstan.
