Overview
What ABG knows about this game
You are the brightest new solar architect, and you must put together your draft for your preferred solar system! You will draft, play, and terraform the planets, moons, and comets into your line of cards. Each card you play provides different points, abilities, and scoring conditions to your solar system. Each architect can refresh the center row once per game, which is useful if you don't like the choices presented - and also useful if you don't want a particular card falling into someone else's hands. Each player also has another ability that is unique to them. To have a winning score, you must plan carefully and put together a synergistic combination of cards, while being as efficient with your choices as possible. —description from the publisher
