We are the Anvil 8 Games Collective, and we love games - adore them in fact - and we are fortunate enough to have found the ability to make the games that we are passionate about playing. We gathered for the first time in 2013 with a very clear purpose in mind. Despite the fact that we are a small shop, we are absolutely determined to create top shelf material: from our innovative and unique game
mechanics to the excellent quality of our product. We take our craft with the seriousness that only those who love to play will understand, and we trust that this shows in our games that you play as well. AETHERIUM is a tabletop miniatures board game set in the virtual shadow of our own desperate future. Assemble your collective of hackers, agents, activists, or anarchists and lead them on hyper-fast runs into a dangerous virtual reality. Use your cunning, wit, will, and bloody-minded determination to carve your space in the wild frontiers of the Aetherium. In AETHERIUM, players create their collective from one of two evocative factions: the AXIOM, keepers of a rigid governmental authority or the NANOMEI, a wild and desperate collective of resistance. As the game is played, factions compete in the AETHER, a digital landscape of countless dimensional frontiers, utilizing a dynamic, turnless interaction and an intuitive d12 mechanism. AETHERIUM unfolds across a beautifully realized and customizable battle map and modular tile system that responds directly to the will of the players during the game. Come and join us in the place that is no place at all.
