Anachrony is a heavy game (weight 8/10). It offers a substantial decision tree (8/10) — enough to reward repeated study. Decisions come at a steady pace (7/10) — engaged without being exhausting. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 5/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct attacks are minimal (3/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Of every game in our catalog, Anachrony is closest to Ark Nova (93% profile match) but scores higher on weight (8 vs. 7).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Variance is moderate (input 5, output 1/10). Catch-up is moderate (4/10).
The theme is well-integrated (8/10). The engine-building arc is strong (engine 8/10) — early-game investments pay off in explosive late-game turns. There's some narrative flavor (narrative 5/10).
