The books are way more interested in the grand trajectories of humanity rather than the quirks of individuals. Most characters that appear there are male, but their gender has largely no role in the events.\n\nSaid that: 1) I find it a bit sad that instead of commenting on the quality and the care of the (hand-made) illustrations or on the project, the focus is on this issue, especially considering that we don't know anything about the proejct (as far as we know , the 16 characters are not necessarily the totality) -of course, there would be tons of comments were the developers decided to use AI-generated artwork, aka we are never happy and always find something to complain..\n\nGoing back on track, the Foundation has such a specific character and focus that's very difficult to translate into any medium (TV series, video games...), so I'm very curious to know how it will be translated into a board game. It's surely a great and unique creation of science fiction, so I'm crossing fingers! And the idea of using the art style of the scifi golden age is an inspired choice.\n\n* \n* Give GeekGold Tip \nTip with GeekGold\n\n 0.01 GeekGold 0.02 GeekGold 0.05 GeekGold 0.25 GeekGold 1 GeekGold 5 GeekGold Other Amount w/ Message \n\n* Reply \n* Quote \n* More Options Report Un-report \n\n[](https://boardgamegeek.com/) User actions menu\n\n## [Mic Al](https://boardgamegeek.com/profile/mic_al)\n\n[@mic_al](https://boardgamegeek.com/profile/mic_al)\n\n[@mic_al](https://boardgamegeek.com/profile/mic_al)\n\n[May 18 (edited)](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3709828/article/47694827#47694827)Full Date\n\n Nelson Jatel @Thresan \n\nFoundation is one of the few science fiction properties whose central premise actively resists a competitive game: psychohistory is a model of statistical inevitability, and a game needs the opposite, meaningful player agency.

And this Empire faction would have little in the way of engine building, but could maybe try to win the game militarily before the other factions get running.)\n\nThere could be the First foundation: They have traders and technology and slowly grow in power. They start on an inaccessible fringe of the board (maybe certain political \"war fever\" levels are needed to attack them as they start with a status as 'officially sanctioned by the Emperor' or something) and have few, but powerful units; which get better with their tech upgrades.\n\nThere could be Second Foundation: They start on an unknown planet (kind of like the rebel base in [](https://boardgamegeek.com/#))and have the ability to influence and convert units or technology. And they play cards that actually subvert the moves or tech of other players but they don't really have much unit presence on the board.
