About the game
The Next Gen expansion introduces next-generation technologies such as the Giga Transporter and Ionic Batteries. These new cards open up unprecedented strategic possibilities, turning the basic game's combos on their head. Nothing will ever be the same again: these new technologies will give you a decisive advantage in the race for Eternitium. New mechanics: these cards add interaction by slowing down your opponents, a new way to improve your deck and even stop-or-go. They add a new dimension of replayability and strategy, even for seasoned players. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Eternitium: Next-Gen supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Eternitium: Next-Gen is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Eternitium: Next-Gen for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Eternitium: Next-Gen belongs to these categories: Card Game, Racing, and Science Fiction. Its main mechanics are Race and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Eternitium: Next-Gen are: Thomas Carlier. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Eternitium: Next-Gen as an expansion for Eternitium. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Eternitium to use it. Check that your edition of Eternitium is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
