Become the leader of the industrial revolution in an alternative timeline.

1-4 Players | 60-150 Mins | Ages 14+

Features: Action Retrieval, Connections, Contracts, End Game Bonuses, Hand Management, Income, Market, Network and Route Building, Solo / Solitaire Game, Tech Trees / Tech Tracks, Variable Player Powers

Theme: Economic, Industry / Manufacturing, Science Fiction, Transportation

Designers: Simone Luciani (Tzol’kin, Grand Austria Hotel, Lorenzo il Magnifico, Barrage) & Dávid Turczi (Anachrony, Imperium, Kitchen Rush, Dice Settlers)

Nucleum is a heavy euro board game in which players take the role of industrialists trying to succeed during the economic and technological boom of 19th-century Saxony, fueled by the invention and spread of the Nucleum (a nuclear reactor).

Players earn victory points by developing their networks, building and powering urban buildings, securing contracts, and meeting milestones (randomised endgame goals). Each player also receives unique asymmetric technologies, giving them special powers when unlocked. Gameplay is continuous; players take turns one after another with no rounds or phases.
