What if Leonardo da Vinci had been born in a different era?
IfStation is an alternate-history simulation card game where you play as a god — placing historical figures, technologies, ideologies, and events onto a timeline to shape the course of civilization.
What happens when a scientist appears centuries too early? What if an ancient civilization discovers modern technology? What if a single decision changes the direction of history?
Every card influences the world that follows. The same cards, arranged in a different order, can lead to entirely different civilizations.
Experiment. Observe. Rewrite History.
