| Summary |
"As the Earth begins to die, it is time for humanity to look beyond the sun. Welcome to Earth in the 23rd century. Humanity faces extinction on a dying planet. In a massive effort, the entire race came together to create the nascent technology needed to make it possible to travel beyond the solar system. The various factions that controlled the planet set aside their differences to assure that the human race finds new homes. You represent the leader of one of these powerful factions. It is up to you to lead your followers to new homes among the dozens of habitable planets found in other systems nearby. The human race will survive but who will control its destiny? Your ambition for power is as limitless as the galaxy we seek to explore and colonize. Will your faction become the dominant player in the new age? How it works: players take turns to take an action available on the technology board, then produce resources. As more technologies are researched, more actions become available to the players. Actions allow players to improve their economy, move spaceships, colonize systems, and the factions with the most points claims victory!" |
