Description

Aetherium is a skirmish level miniatures board game set in a cyber-mindscape where the world changes with the will of the players. Enter the Aetherium - a world between worlds, a place capable of containing the human mind, a place of infinite possibility, a place that is no place at all. Control the tyrannical and neo-fascist government of the Axiom, or fight for your freedom alongside the anarchist Nanomei. Aetherium requires roughly one hour for a full game. Assemble your collective of hackers, agents, activists, or anarchists and lead them on a hyper-fast run through a dangerous virtual reality. Aetherium is a contest of mental skill, as players try to outthink their opponent using programs, resources, and the world itself in order to carve a space inside this fluid reality. Fight for control of the greatest discovery of human existence.
