Description

Introduction:

As Earth begins to die, it is time for humanity to look Beyond the Sun.

The faction leaders that once ruled the planet separately, now work together to develop cutting-edge technology and explore the depths of space. However, only one leader will truly reign supreme in these new worlds.

Will it be you?

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?

Features:

Innovative technology tree – Each developed technology feeds into the next available technology. Dozens of variable tech cards are included which makes the possible technological advancements different from game to game.

Resource cycle of life – The game features a unique cyclical economic system that provides interesting challenges. Should you produce more money to grow your economic power or more food to increase the population needed for further expansion?

Multiple paths to victory – Become a technological powerhouse, build an impressive fleet of warships, or colonize the most planets. All possibilities are open to you as you strive for the ultimate triumph!

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 research new technologies. Those actions belong exclusively to the player who discovers them until the other players catch up! The game ends when a number of achievements are fulfilled, and the faction with the most points claims victory!
