Expanding the World of Syncanite Syncanite Foundation is a deep economic-strategy and asymmetric area-control board game set in a distinctive ‘crystal-punk’ science-fantasy world where oligarchs manipulate markets, media, and political systems in a ruthless struggle for power. There is no player elimination and victory conditions are variable. The game stands out through its evolving mechanics, where player actions trigger crises that change the rules of the game and unlock new paths to victory. Despire being published by a European company, Syncanite Foundation is not a Eurogame, nor does it snuggly fit in any other broad category, making it even more unique.

Among the planned highlights are: - Syncanite Foundation – Expansion I: The Crimson Protocol, introducing additional thrilling gameplay layers and new, exciting strategic possibilities. - Upgraded components designed to enhance the tabletop presence of the game, with 28-33 mm miniatures coming next. - Flux Forced Move, full-fledged stand-alone novel by Timon Thöne, based on his Syncanite World, refined in cooperation with seasoned editor and co-author Alexander Urbanek – the first part of a captivating trilogy – exploring the deeper lore and worldbuilding behind Syncanite through the eyes of Lycon and other characters. - An original soundtrack (available on vinyl as well as a digital download) which is not just bringing the atmosphere of the setting to life beyond the tabletop, but adding to the story of the first book in the form of a captivating audio experience. - Exclusive campaign rewards and stretch goals for certain backers. Together, these elements will allow fans to explore the Syncanite universe not only as a board game but also as a rich narrative world with expanding storytelling potential. The Syncanite setting originated in a novel written by Timon L. Thöne, which serves as the narrative foundation for the board game and its broader universe. As the project continues to grow, the creators are also exploring future adaptations and storytelling formats, including the long-term ambition of developing a series set within the Syncanite world. This approach positions Syncanite Foundation not just as a board game, but as the foundation of a transmedia science-fantasy universe combining tabletop gaming, literature, music, and audiovisual storytelling.
