About the game
Sine Tempore is a co-operative game in which 1 - 4 players face the game’s artificial intelligence as part of a campaign, which guides them to one of three different endings. Sine Tempore is a game rich in high-detailed miniatures that plunge players into the planet’s alien atmosphere, guided by spectacular scenarios. Each mission has an objective that needs to be successfully reached to determine whether or not a territory has been conquered, and whether or not new sectors can still be explored. During the end game phase, each conquered sector will provide colonists with access to the resources they need to build new structures and equipment. The final mission taken on by players will radically change their destiny. Sine Tempore will take you back to a faraway past, thousands of years before Nova Aetas, exploring new worlds in search of a new home where characters can live and prosper. During this long journey, your spaceship will come across a number of different alien species, some friendly, others somewhat suspicious or openly hostile. In the box you’ll find 39 miniatures, 4 of which are heroes, with whom you will delve into the dangers of Primevus V, through unexplored jungles, used as hunting grounds by Primaevi and the ancient ruins of civilisation used by the latter as a resting base. A campaign designed to be replayed with different paths each time will lead you to 3 different endings in your search for the resources you need to survive. An efficient “end game” system will help you to develop your characters through a modern tree skill system and a tested crafting mechanism inspired by Nova Aetas. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Sine Tempore supports 1–4 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 Sine Tempore is 20–60 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 Sine Tempore for ages 14 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.
Sine Tempore has a complexity rating of 3.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Sine Tempore belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Dice, and Exploration. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Grid Movement, and Role Playing.
