The Fractured Flat

The world has shattered! Our universe has splintered into dozens of shards, and we need to knit it back together! As dimension-hopping wizards, you will work to reunite the mutiverse in The Fratured Flat.

The Fractured Flat is a simple area-control board game for two players. You will need 16 small tokens for each player, and the Fractured Flat game board, below.

Players take turns placing or moving their tokens on the board. You score points by occupying regions with dots (“cities”), and when neighboring regions are owned by your opponent. Each game takes around ten minutes.

We hope you will enjoy this game. We like the idea of printing a game board on a silk square, selling it some really nice stones, but for now we can offer you the versions above.
