Hoekom Jou 4X-Spele Stof Vergaar

(En hoekom hierdie een dit nie sal doen nie)

😤

  • 50-page rulebook nobody reads
  • New players get crushed
  • Same meta every session
  • Can't play with kids
🚀

  • Learn by playing, not by reading
  • Built-in handicap keeps everyone competing
  • 14 universes = 14x the replayability
  • Ages 7-70 can play together (and win)

Gereelde Vrae

Alles wat jy moet weet oor Neutronium Expansion.

Hoe lank duur 'n spel?

'n Tipiese spel duur 30-60 minute. Die roguelike-vordering beteken vroeë heelalvlakke is vinniger (20-30 min), terwyl hoër vlakke met meer meganika tot 'n uur kan duur. Perfek vir spelnagte!

Hoeveel spelers kan speel?

Die basisspel ondersteun 2-6 spelers. Ons ontwerp uitbreidingsinhoud wat dit verder kan verhoog. Die spel skaal goed oor alle spelertalle met minimale opstelveranderinge.

Is dit goed vir kinders?

Absoluut! Die spel is gegradeer 7+ en is uitgebreid met kinders getoets. Die tutoriaal-stelsel (Recovered Memories) stel meganika geleidelik voor, wat dit toeganklik maak vir jong spelers terwyl dit diepte vir volwassenes behou.

Wanneer word dit gestuur?

Ons beplan om in 2026 op Kickstarter te lanseer met 'n geskatte leweringsvenster wat tydens die veldtog gedeel word. Sluit by die waglys aan om in kennis gestel te word van presiese datums en vroeë voëlpryse.

Kan ek dit voor aankoop probeer?

Ja! Sluit by ons Discord aan vir skakels na die Tabletop Simulator-mod en afdrukbare demo-pakket. Waglyslede sal ook 'n gratis Beta-Reëls PDF ontvang.
