No pandemic, zombies, or post-apocalyptic rubble? A more likely future is one in which free-market fortuneers explore the fringes of the achievable, in which scientists and technocrats rewrite the human condition by expanding into new spheres — the developing world, the cloud, and space — in doing so, demolishing the barriers of age, disease, suffering, and physical confinement to this planet. As control over our surroundings expands, technology will become more of a intimate part of who we are — or acquire a mind of its own, incorporated into our transhuman state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ion Game Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13448980955187,"sku":"MIB-SMG42","price":43.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic4250726.jpg?v=1578609457"},{"product_id":"pax-renaissance-second-edition-metal-coins","title":"Pax Renaissance (Second Edition) - Metal Coins","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes 33 metal florin coins and 4 plastic gem tokens (for the 5-florin value).\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Ion Game Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32492479250483,"sku":"SMG37-2a","price":20.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/3b0cbb79-6998-4d95-befc-d44dbca34e42_1024x1024_06e4edb1-1a4c-4048-8db1-68da39f3fc0e.jpg?v=1600549248"},{"product_id":"stationfall","title":"Stationfall","description":"\u003ctable width=\"100%\" margin=\"1\" padding=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/matt-eklund\"\u003eMatt Eklund\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/all\/ion-game-design\"\u003eIon Game Design\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlaytime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90-120 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 and up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"display: none;\" id=\"bgg-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd id=\"bgg-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\" id=\"bgg-url\"\u003e316624\/stationfall\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\" id=\"bgg-forum-url\"\u003ehttp:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/316624\/stationfall\/forums\/63\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is Stationfall? Well, imagine a dozen or so random humans, robots, and none-of-the-aboves, each with their own abilities, goals, and secret relationships, have been turned loose on a space station that is going to be incinerated upon its inevitable reentry into Earth's atmosphere. You are one of these characters, and the others are collaborators you have on hand ready to assist you in achieving your goals. But choose them wisely, as any one of them could secretly be another player waiting to betray you!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStationfall is a box full of creative solutions, but that box is going to morph, twist, and grow teeth over the course of play. Your best turns will exploit the unique tactical freedom of being a secret conspiracy, as well as deductions about your opponents’ identities and motives. Stationfall is messy, intricate, and full of dangerous variables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—description from the publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ion Game Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39380851425331,"sku":"ION04 MIBION04","price":94.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic6035127.png?v=1621904763"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/collections\/matt-eklund.oembed","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
