How it plays

How does it play?

Win influence across five planets in a brisk science-fiction tug of war, recruiting Humans, Robots, and Animods while advancing technologies.

Core mechanisms

Key systems that shape the decisions players make.

Read the full game description

Play agents into five planetary lanes, pay or gain resources, trigger faction abilities, and pull each Influence disc toward your side of the solar system. Research tracks unlock increasingly powerful technology effects, while cards from Humans, Robots, and Animods reward different tactical rhythms. Win immediately with three discs from one planet, four discs from different planets, or any five discs, forcing both sides to defend against three victory patterns at once.
