Details

Overview

Old Times takes the familiar concept of a hex-based board game and throws out the turn order. Developed and published by Aluminum Dog, this free-to-play title for 1-4 players online is a real-time, first-person strategy game.

There are no dice rolls and no waiting for your opponents to finish their moves—everyone acts simultaneously. You walk the board yourself, physically pick up resources, and race to construct the largest settlement.

The goal is straightforward: be the first to reach 10 Victory Points.

Highlights

Real-Time, First-Person Board Play: Instead of clicking through menus, you move your character across a 3D board, making every decision feel immediate and personal.
Living Resource Tiles: The board consists of 19 hex tiles—forests, clay pits, wheat fields, ore mountains, sheep pastures, and a desert. Each tile produces its own resource (Wood, Brick, Wheat, Ore, or Sheep) on an independent timer ranging from 50 to 110 seconds. A key press reveals every tile's countdown, letting you plan your route efficiently.
Physical Resource Hauling: Houses adjacent to a tile collect the produced resources as physical items. You must pick them up and carry them to where they're needed, adding a layer of logistics and risk to the strategy.

Who It's For

Old Times is perfect for fans of classic board games who crave a more active, hands-on experience. If you enjoy multiplayer competition, real-time decision-making, and the tactile feel of moving pieces across a board, this game offers a fresh twist.

It's also a great choice for free-to-play gamers looking for a quick, engaging session with friends or strangers online.
