Phase Shift Games has released details on a couple of new tabletop games from their lineup, the first being that Obelus is now currently up for pre-order. This latest game is a two-player title in which you will attempt to control time and space in a very "beyond tabletop" kind of way. Each of you will be controlling obelisks and will roll dice in a fight to banish your opponent's obelisks from the playing field, and, eventually, banish them from all time and space. You can read more about it below as the game is selling for $14 and will be out this Summer.
Obelus
Vast obelisks, existing beyond time and space, are believed to represent the very essence of purity and chaos. Powers beyond imagination endlessly summon, shift, and banish these obelisks, igniting massive rifts between dimensions. Through these rifts, Mensors have learned to channel their powers to manipulate this phenomenon. They have come to call this eternal cycle… Obelus.
Obelus is a lightweight, 2-player abstract strategy game, playable in 10-15 minutes. Taking on the role of a powerful Mensor, you will summon obelisk-shaped dice onto conflux cards, shift your obelisks according to the number showing, and banish your opponent's obelisks. Through clever maneuvering, banished obelisks may be reformed, creating a rift that prevents further summoning on that conflux. You win when your opponent cannot legally summon or shift an obelisk. There are two ways to play Obelus: Pure mode or Chaos mode. Chaos mode involves some dice rolling, adding an element of randomness to the game, whereas Pure mode offers "perfect information" with no randomness.
- Timeless strategy in a tiny box.
- Two game modes: Pure and Chaos.
- Premium components, including holographic cards and unique obelisk-shaped dice.
- For two players, ages eight and up, taking 15 minutes.
- Designed by Chris Williams, with art by Asritha Nancharla.
