In 2016, scientists discovered repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) bombarding the Earth. Piecing these together revealed a disturbing message: MASS EXTINCTION BY 2040.A “Roll For Location” game system that ensures each playthrough generates a unique universe with unique challenges.Events add a further twist to each game as some are helpful but others can lead to disaster. And you’ll never know which it will be until you draw the card.
As the scientists began to unpack the FRBs they discovered practical guides to technological developments that previously had been only theoretical. However, the signals were fragmented and impossible to interpret. To save Humanity, it would be necessary to travel across the universe to collect the FRBs, one by one, and piece them together.
The Galactic Citizens Federation has built their first interstellar spacecraft, the Starship EOS Its mission: To collect the FRBs and locate the Paradise Planet before Earth is reduced to a barren wasteland. But remember that not all Alien species wish to see Humanity succeed. Whether or not you find the Paradise Planet depends on the choices you are about to make.
Do you spend credits to expand the EOS and open new actions like mining, scanning, or crafting? Do you become a smuggler and deliver interesting cargo to distant galaxies to gain intel and advance your progress? Do you attack Alien ships using the combined strength and skills of the crew.Each asymmetric player board is dual-layered to keep your components in place. The boards will be printed on premium 400gsm card stock and layered.
High-quality precision-cut painted wood will bring the Alien Ships, Character Meeples, Assistants, Resousour Cubes, and Star Markers to life. The 350gms High-Quality white core mini cards will stand the test of time and hold up to repeat plays. Randomize your adventure with 20 custom skill dice featuring various bright colors to match the characters.Storing and deploying alien ships will never feel so great. The small bag with threaded drawstring will keep all the wooden alien ships held safely between plays.
The universe is punishing, and as your adventure plays out, the 6-fold, linen-embossed full-color game board will help guide you and your friends along. As a massive thanks for helping us reach our goal, all games from the Kickstarter print run will feature extra event cards to further randomize your adventure These cards will only be available in boxes that are a part of our initial print run.
It gets even better! During the 30-day launch campaign, we will design these cards together as a community through online polling. Each player announces what action they are performing and places their Character meeple onto an Action icon in the Starship EOS or a character's private room. The Pilot is responsible for warping the EOS to neighboring galaxies. Will you deliver cargo, attack Alien ships, or pilot your way to riches? The fate of humanity will rest on your choices.
Weapons are locked and ready to fire! In this phase, the entire crew will partake in a dice placement mini-game trying to activate damage cards to destroy Alien ships. WARNING! in this phase, all known Alien ships are strategically moving throughout the universe, trying to hunt down the EOS or protect valuable FRB signals. As the game progresses, the Universe is likely to grow crowded with Alien ships. As you hunt for the Paradise Planet, the Aliens will be hunting you. The threat of your being overrun is real.
You have to order one of these before it's too late!
