What This Board Game Is

Set in BAR's far-future machine war, our board game follows the same core conflict energy: commanders competing for metal, energy, map control, and timing advantages while different doctrines shape how battles unfold. We take subtle lore inspiration from the Armada and Cortex identity split (precision/efficiency vs relentless escalation) and adapt that into cards, board positioning, and strategic tradeoffs. This project is made by fans of Beyond All Reason. We are building an independent tabletop adaptation of that RTS spirit, not an official BAR product.
