The Apocalypsis Collection is the big box edition of three gorgeously remastered games (Nova Lux, Impendium, and Aedifex) composing an epic space opera beginning with the end of the universe. The Arcana edition of the Apocalypsis collection introduces a new Big Box table presence with beautifully remastered art, miniatures, components, and gameplay.
In Nova Lux, you will take charge of orphaned alien species that have escaped dying star systems in the wake of a galactic apocalypse. As entropy has increased to maximum, you will navigate the collapsing universe while collecting necessary resources to sustain biological life all while attempting to build an enclosed biosphere colony surrounding one of the last remaining stars. Once you do, you will need to satisfy the diverse requirements of your tenuous new galactic federation to ensure unity and hope for a new future. Manage resources, navigate the collapsing universe, build your biosphere engine, and race to establish your colony and satisfy your factions.
In Impendium, you will pick up immediately after the events of Nova Lux. As one of the leading factions of the newly founded Galactic Federation, you will set out to rebuild the universe and spread your power in the new galactic order. But be ware as you do, breaking the natural law of entropy, the mysterious void will take notice and seek to destroy everything that you have created. Recruit new factions to your cause and manage their loyalty, build new stars and colonies, manage resources, battle the void, and establish your power through diplomacy and war.
Finally in Aedifex you will see the universe from the void's perspective. Take on the role of an Architect of the Void. You will feed the machine that holds the fabric of existence together by cultivating the multiverse for it to consume. Meanwhile you will position yourself for dominance of the machine and ultimately dominion over existence itself. Aedifex is a deck-building game with unique player interactions, challenging decisions, and a perpetually evolving scoring mechanism.
