Crisis within TimeA fast-paced action card and dice game where characters from different eras and dimensions fight for their survival in a shattered world. Crisis within Time is a brutal, easy-to-learn combat game with zero downtime. Every card in your hand is an attack or defense move, and every decision matters. With the chosen ability cards, the game becomes more tactical and more brutal! THE WORLD OF TERRANAThe story takes place in a world born from the fracture of time itself: Terrana. Creatures thought long extinct, civilizations erased, and futures that never came to be have suddenly appeared. These new arrivals, known as the Elseborn, are thrust into this broken world. You will choose one of these Elseborn from different eras, utilize their unique strengths, survive the shifting loyalties of the table, and fight to be the last one standing... Or the last surviving alliance! HOW IT PLAYSCombat is fast and unforgiving. Every card in your hand represents a tactical attack or defense move. After you play your action, fights resolve with dice rolls and unique special rules. But don't drop your guard, your opponent will counterattack in the exact same turn! Be prepared for the retaliation! Zero Downtime: Constant engagement keeps the tension high. You are always in the figth. Tactical Chaos: Balance the strategy of hand management with the sheer thrill of dice rolling. 2 to 10 Players: Scale the chaos from an intimate duel to a massive multiplayer showdown featuring all 10 unique Elseborn! GAME MODESCrisis within Time comes with distinct game modes to fit your player count and playstyle: Duel: A tense, 1v1 tactical fight. Arena: A chaotic, every-player-for-themselves battle royale. Alliance: Team up and coordinate your attacks to crush the opposing side. THE ART & CRAFTSMANSHIPSince each Elseborn represents a completely different time and world, every character was created by a different human artist to reflect their unique origin. We have a strict no-AI policy. From character desing to card illustrations, everything is pure craftsmanship. As the game expands with new characters and modes, we will continue to support and showcase independent artists. CURRENT STATUSThanks to our amazing Kickstarter backers, the project is fully funded! We are currently in our Late Pledge phase, gearing up for physical distribution and delivery in early 2027.
