Entropy combines rondel-style action selection, engine building, tableau development, resource management, and combo-heavy turns into one interconnected experience. Build stars, create planets, seed life, upgrade your console, and complete objectives as you race to prove you're the greatest scientist in the galaxy.
After several plays, we found plenty to love—from the satisfying action economy and meaningful decisions to the huge combo turns that make every game feel different. We'll also discuss a few rough edges, including rule clarity, upgrade timing, storage, and some gameplay quirks that new players should know before jumping in.
If you're a fan of heavier euro games like Barrage, Darwin's Journey, Ark Nova, Terra Mystica, or other strategic engine builders, Entropy is definitely worth a look.
