If you like your euros chunky and your table quiet with concentration, Board & Dice has lined up your summer. Entropy, a new sci-fi strategy game for 1 to 4 players, goes live on Gamefound on 15 June 2026, and it arrives with one of the strongest designer credits of the year: Simone Luciani (Darwin's Journey, Anachrony), Tommaso Battista (Barrage) and Nestore Mangone (Newton).

Find events near youYou play a far-future scientist racing to build solar systems from nothing, evolving stars, seeding planets with life and shaping whole biomes to rack up points. Driving it all is a double orbital rondel: two concentric rings you move around to gather resources and ecosystem symbols before feeding them into a personal tableau of upgrades and abilities. Wargamer reckons the result feels a little like No Man's Sky on cardboard.
That tracks for this group. Board & Dice has built its name on dense, point-chasing euros that reward planning several moves ahead, and the trio's back catalogue, from the dam-building scrap of Barrage to the careful worker placement of Darwin's Journey, leans hard into tight optimisation. Plan for a proper sit-down session of 90 to 120 minutes once everyone settles in.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksThis is a Gamefound campaign rather than a shop release, so backing now is how you lock in the base pledge at £41 (about $55), which throws in three extras: Satellites, a Home System and a set of Luminescent Lifeform cards. The game is due to ship later in 2026. If you want to round up a group for a brain-burner like this, find a game night near you.
