About the game
As a Captain building a solar system for your Emperor, you'll take turns choosing one order (Scout, Buy, Mine, or Zap) that every player must obey, even you. How you carry that order is entirely yours to decide. Use classic 4X style actions to rotate hexes to boost their resources, expand your solar system hex by hex, or zap away pieces that no longer serve your plan while chasing your private goals. With every player working from the same small set of commands, the fun is watching wildly different systems take shape. Build the solar system that scores you the most points, and rise through the ranks. Nominated for Best Innovation at Fastaval in Denmark.
