Why Your 4X Games Collect Dust

(And why this one won't)

๐Ÿ˜ค

The 4X Problem

  • โœ• "Great game, played it twice"
  • โœ• 50-page rulebook nobody reads
  • โœ• New players get crushed
  • โœ• Same meta every session
  • โœ• Can't play with kids
๐Ÿš€

The Neutronium Solution

  • โœ“ "Just one more cycle" โ€” done in 60 min
  • โœ“ Learn by playing, not by reading
  • โœ“ Built-in handicap keeps everyone competing
  • โœ“ 14 universes = 14x the replayability
  • โœ“ Ages 7-70 can play together (and win)

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Neutronium Expansion.

How long does a game take?

A typical game takes 30-60 minutes. The roguelike progression means early universe levels are quicker (20-30 min), while higher levels with more mechanics can take up to an hour. Perfect for game nights!

How many players can play?

The base game supports 2-6 players. We're designing expansion content that could increase this further. The game scales well across all player counts with minimal setup changes.

Is it good for kids?

Absolutely! The game is rated 7+ and has been extensively tested with children. The tutorial system ("Recovered Memories") introduces mechanics gradually, making it accessible for young players while maintaining depth for adults.

When will it ship?

We're planning to launch on Kickstarter in 2026 with an estimated delivery window shared during the campaign. Join the waitlist to be notified of exact dates and early bird pricing.

Can I try it before buying?

Yes! Join our Discord for links to the Tabletop Simulator mod and printable demo kit. Waitlist members will also receive a free Beta Rules PDF to review the full rulebook.
