Exploration, management, adventure and combat in a 1-4 player game. How will you save humanity from the Great Old Ones? AuZtralia is an adventure and exploration game for 1 to 4 players in an alternate reality of the 1930s. The theme is inspired by Martin Wallace's board game "A Study in Emerald". Build your port, railways, mines and farms for food. You will have to prepare for the Awakening. You will have to fight! Everything you do in the game costs Time, which is one of AuZtralia's most valuable resources. When the Great Old Ones awaken, they become an active player. They start to reveal themselves and move around, devastating your sources of income.
Beware, you will need to be ready for the Awakening and cooperate with others to defeat the most dangerous of the Great Old Ones. Military units will help you locate, fight and defend against the nightmarish beings that will attack you. In addition to equipment, you will recruit Characters who have the skills and resources to help you. Ready for an adventure? Choose your path through the unknown interior. Build railways, extract valuable resources, trade wisely to build your defences, and keep an eye on your farms, as the Great Old Ones will devastate them if they arrive on your doorstep.
Feel the tension build as the Time Point system pushes you to the edge, forcing you to make tough decisions. A unique combination of mechanics: exploration, resource and risk management, and the intensity of combat once the Great Old Ones awaken. Multi-purpose cards control the movement and attacks of the Great Old Ones in a unique and realistic way. No dice rolls! 36 unique characters, each with their own effects on the game. Who do you want most on your side? You can't have them all. Will humanity win or will the Great Old Ones take their revenge?
