    In an uncharted fantasy realm, four factions govern the fundamental domains of the world: the abyssal depths of the dark waters; the rolling hills, windswept and sheltered by ancient forests; the endless, boundless night skies; and the subterranean tunnels, shrouded in shadows and untold secrets. A primal energy flows quietly through these lands, gathering in hidden fonts of boundless power. Whoever manages to master them will be capable of bending the most relentless force of all, time, and the cadence it dictates upon nature, existence… and life itself. Gather the wisest, bravest, and most prepared fellowship, equip yourself with the right artifacts, and get ready to fight for control over the sources of power. Only those who can manipulate the flow of time will stay one step ahead of their rivals.

    This is the premise behind Echoes of Time, designed by Simone Luciani (Grand Austria Hotel, Tzolk’in: The Mayan Calendar) and Roberto Pellei (Pigeon Explosion). First published in 2025 by Cranio Creations in an English edition, the artwork is handled by Giovanni Calore in his debut work within the board game industry.
