If your group likes engine builders but gets tired of the same three euro archetypes, Restart is worth putting on your radar. Teetotum Game Studios' 1-4 player tactical engine-builder launches on Gamefound on 28 April 2026, and its hook is a smart one: you are a rival time traveller trying to rewrite the timeline, but prosperity for you means ruin for someone else.

Find events near youEach turn you activate one of four mind abilities on your personal board. Perception completes missions, Intelligence pulls new ones into your queue, Memory gains resources, and Focus upgrades your actions so future turns hit harder. The game spans three eras, past, present and future, and the cards you play chain into combos across them. Teetotum has included four distinct dystopias in the box, each with its own mechanics, so no two campaigns unfold the same way.
The production pitch is ambitious for a studio of Teetotum's size: 12 detailed miniatures, more than 350 multi-purpose cards, and artwork that leans into a grimy cyberpunk palette. The BoardGameGeek thread tracking the campaign has been picking up attention from heavier-euro fans who like their engine builders with some bite.
