Description

Timelag is a strategic science fiction game where two players engage in combat across outer space, with a twist: Einsteinian time dilation affects the flow of play. As the game unfolds, civilizations advance to higher technological levels, producing better ships over time. However, due to time dilation, the age of these ships is relative to each player's home base, making it uncertain how old an opponent's ships really are. This unique concept creates interesting situations, adding a layer of complexity to the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 120 minutes, Timelag is an immersive experience that combines economic and wargame elements. Players must navigate a hexagon grid, using movement points and tech trees to outmaneuver their opponent. The game's sudden death ending adds an extra layer of excitement, making Timelag a thrilling experience for fans of science fiction and strategy games.
