Neutronium: Parallel Wars Support: Rules Questions, Component Issues, and FAQ
Whether you have a rules dispute, a damaged component, or a question that the rulebook did not clearly answer — this page covers the most common support needs. For anything not addressed here, the fastest route is via Discord.
Quick Rules Reference
These are the questions that come up most often during games. They are answered here in plain language without rulebook page references — for the full rules context, see the rulebook PDF.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I play with fewer than the recommended players? | Yes - the game supports 2 to 6 players and is balanced at each count. |
| Do I need to read a rulebook first? | No - the Recovered Memories system teaches the game as you play. |
| Is a companion app required? | No - Neutronium is a fully analog board game. |
| Can I stop a game before Universe 13? | Yes - single-session games can end at a chosen universe in about 90 minutes. |
| Are expansions required to enjoy the base game? | No - the base game is complete on its own. |

Components & Replacements
Final component contents are being locked for the Kickstarter campaign.
Once the game ships, a replacement-parts process for missing or damaged components will be offered through the campaign fulfillment.
Until then, the best place for component questions is the Discord community.
Rulebook Download
The current version of the Neutronium: Parallel Wars rulebook is available as a PDF download at /rules. The rulebook is updated when the design team issues formal rules clarifications or errata. The version number on the cover page tells you which edition you are reading.
Also available on the rules page: a quick-start guide designed to get a table playing in under 30 minutes without reading the full rulebook first, and a set of printable reference cards. The reference cards are formatted for A5 printing and lamination.
If you find an error or ambiguity in the rulebook that is not addressed by the existing errata, report it in the #rules-feedback channel on Discord so it can be reviewed for the next update.
