Humanity is gone. Nature has reclaimed the world. Yet a new age of intelligence is beginning. In After Us, you lead a tribe of evolved apes determined to master the remnants of human knowledge. Build a powerful deck, gather vital resources, attract new species all to guide your tribe towards collective intelligence.
 
Every round, you combine four cards from your personal deck to create powerful frames. Carefully align the cards to activate completed combinations, gathering resources, earning victory points, generating Rage as well as unlocking valuable effects. Your starting Tamarins provide the foundation, but soon your tribe can grow with resourceful Orangutans, powerful Gorillas, versatile Chimpanzees or wise Mandrills.
 
Once your tribe has assembled, choose an action disk simultaneously with the other players. The selected disk determines the ability you can activate, plus the type of ape you can recruit. Pay the required resources to attract a new ape, then place it onto your draw pile so your growing tribe can become even more efficient in future rounds. You can also spend resources to copy one ability from a neighbouring player's disk, giving you another clever way to strengthen your strategy.
 
As your deck evolves, so does your engine. Combining cards effectively becomes increasingly important as you seek better resource production, stronger abilities along with claiming valuable points. Every new ape changes the possibilities available to your tribe, creating satisfying combinations as you race towards 80 victory points.
 
With simultaneous turns, intuitive card combinations, deck building fused with resource management, After Us offers a fresh strategic experience for players who enjoy developing an engine from humble beginnings.
