fter Us is a deck-building and resource management game featuring an original and intuitive combo system in which players are each leading a tribe of apes. Starting only with tamar ins, they combine their cards each turn to collect resources and gather victory points, attracting new apes into their tribe along the way: powerful gorillas, resourceful orangutans, versatile chimpanzees, and wise mandrills. The first player to obtain 80 points prevails in the race to collective intelligence — and wins the game. 2083. Humankind died out decades ago, leaving behind mere vestiges of its time on Earth. As time went by, nature reclaimed land all over. In this resurgent world, apes have kept evolving. They've been gathering in tribes, growing, mastering human items, and advancing in their quest for knowledge. As the leader of such a tribe, you need to guide it towards collective intelligence. To win a game of After Us, you must reach 80 victory points before your opponents do. On each turn, players simultaneously draw the 4 top cards of their decks and combine them in front of them in order to form small boxes to activate. They can then activate each box, from left to right, to collect resources, gain victory points and trigger their apes’ special abilities. The core of the game lies in making the wisest combinations to obtain what you need at a given time, depending on the cards you drew. Once the activation phase is over, players can add an ape to their tribe: a chimpanzee, a gorilla, a mandrill or an orangutan. The choice depends both on the currently available resources and the sought monkey’s ability. Show more
