Satirical board game about the race to ASI — "move fast and break alignment."
The Eval is a satirical 3–6 player strategy board game about the race to Artificial Superintelligence. Part Power Grid, part Twilight Struggle, part Pandemic — all absurd. Semi-cooperative: players have to keep civilization functional enough to sustain the race, but only one lab can get there first. And "getting there" might kill everyone anyway.
Designed as a comedy of escalation: early rounds are startup energy — recruiting, fundraising, shipping demos. Mid-game becomes a tense resource crunch with geopolitical chaos. Late-game is a white-knuckle sprint where everyone is cutting corners, the global tracks swing wildly, and the event cards get increasingly unhinged.
Tagline on the box: "Build the most powerful AI. Try not to destroy civilization."
