Anachronism won the 2005 Origins Award for Gamer’s Choice Best Collectible Card Game of the Year.

[2] The game depicts artistic work by Rob Alexander, Douglas Chaffee, Ed Cox, Kaja Foglio, Randy Richard Gallegos, Ralph Horsley, April Lee, and Alan Pollack.

Support cards represent a variety of historical weapons, armor, items, deities, people, places or concepts such as the Norse sverd or Japanese book Go Rin No Sho.

The game's name is derived from the ability to mix the various support cards such that the ancient Greek Leonidas wearing a kimono may fight a Japanese ninja who is wielding a gladius.

The first part was a free demo consisting of the warriors Miyamoto Musashi, Beowulf, their support cards, and a playmat in the April 2005 issue of InQuest Gamer.

The second was a starter set featuring the warriors Spartacus & Achilles, their support cards, dice, and a playmat.

The company continued sending tournament kits, but had let go of its design team after they turned in the card text for Set 9.

TriKing had little to no presence during the important 2007 summer conventions; soon after, they stopped sending tournament kits, and their forums have been in disrepair since October.

Anachronism's Lead Developer released the finished card text for the unpublished Set 8, sanctioning it for organized play.

Players in "The Coliseum" (an alternate Anachronism forum) have worked together to create a full set of card images, to be used online or printed at home.

Also based out of "The Coliseum," the PC is working to finalize Set 9 text, continue an organized play system, and develop the first post-TriKing release—Set 10.

Open qualifier tournaments for U.S. Nationals and the World Championship were held at Origins, in Columbus, Ohio.

In September 2005, Mathieu Brochu won a new MINI Cooper as the grand prize of the first Anachronism World Championship.

One year later, in September 2006, Garritt Pruim won a Toshiba laptop computer as the grand prize of the second Anachronism World Championship.

The first tournament organized by the PC is offering the winner the choice of Set 10's final culture sweep.
