World Changers is a board game released in 2021 for 1–4 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by THEKI and its main mechanics are Set Collection, End Game Bonuses, and Solo / Solitaire Game.
Who would you take to another planet if Earth were no longer inhabitable? What if you could pick people from long bygone eras? Turns out that you are the captain of an interstellar spaceship, and you need to assemble your crew to live on a new planet. You can recruit them from historical persons throughout the whole of human history, but each person has their own peculiarities. Can you make the best team to let humanity thrive once more? In World Changers, players draft cards from a common display with each card having an unique effect and a Legacy value. On their turn, players can either "invite" or "pass", with invite adding a card to the player's display, that is, a member of that player's team. Each card's effect is triggered either when the card is taken or when certain conditions are met. When no cards are left to invite or when each player passes in succession, the game ends and the player with the highest total Legacy of their members wins. The game includes a booklet full of art and stories of the 32 historical persons featured in the game! —description from publisher
World Changers 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 World Changers is 10 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 World Changers 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.
World Changers has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
