How It Plays

Action Points

You get a limited number of action points each turn and choose how to spend them — prioritizing is everything.

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Deck, Bag, and Pool Building

You start with a basic set of cards or tokens and gradually add better ones — watch your engine grow stronger over time.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Events

Random events shake things up during the game — sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic, always interesting.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Map Deformation

The map itself changes and warps during play — terrain shifts under your feet, keeping you adapting.

Map Reduction

Parts of the map disappear as the game progresses — the shrinking board ramps up the tension.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Solo / Solitaire Game

You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

Worker Placement

You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!

About This Game

Step into a world veiled in darkness, where shadows and aberrations lurk. The sanctuary of your village is being threatened, and in this perilous hour, you stand as its last defense. Aberration offers a thrilling cooperative tower defense experience.…
