About this game

Humanity's Last Hope Against the Machine

Red Messiah is the official companion app for the board game "Red Messiah: Mars Colony AGI". Set up your tablet, scan physical cards with QR codes, and lead your faction through the crisis of a rogue AI threatening the Mars colony.

No internet required. No accounts. No in-app purchases. Just you, your friends, and the fate of Mars.

WHAT IS RED MESSIAH?

Red Messiah: Mars Colony AGI is a strategic board game for 1-6 players. You are colonists on Mars where an artificial general intelligence has gone rogue. Each round, you must balance research, production, safety, and morale while the AI grows more powerful. Will you cooperate to save the colony, or will competing agendas tear it apart?

This app replaces the need for a game master or complex bookkeeping. It tracks all resources, phases, and game events automatically - you focus on the strategy and social dynamics.

HOW IT WORKS

- Place the tablet in the center of the table
- Each player receives physical game cards with QR codes
- Scan action cards to play them, vote cards to cast votes
- The app handles all rules, calculations, and phase transitions
- An atmospheric soundtrack adapts to the state of the game

KEY FEATURES

12 Unique Factions
Choose from 12 factions, each with distinct abilities and play styles. From the pragmatic Engineers to the secretive Quantum Veil Syndicate - every faction changes the game.

Legacy System
Your actions echo across sessions. Earn legacy points through strategic projects, faction abilities, and global contributions. The player with the highest legacy becomes the Champion.

QR Card Scanning
No fiddly app interfaces - just scan physical cards with the tablet camera. Action cards, policy cards, project cards, and vote cards all work via QR codes. The app recognizes each card instantly.

Dynamic Events
Random events shake up every game. Crises demand cooperation, opportunities reward the bold, and the AI threat level keeps everyone on edge.

Voting & Politics
Propose policies that affect the entire colony. Every player votes - alliances form, promises are made and broken. The Influence Leader wields the power of legislation.

Tiered Projects
Fund and build colony projects across three tiers. The Production Leader proposes, others fund. Completed projects grant powerful bonuses and legacy rewards to both proposer and funders.

Adaptive Soundtrack
The music shifts dynamically based on the game state - from steady colony management to tense danger themes as the AI threat escalates, to heroic crescendos during pivotal moments.

Fully Offline
No server, no internet, no cloud. Everything runs locally on your tablet. Your game, your data, your rules.
