Dyson Sphere

Imagine harnessing the full energy output of an entire star by constructing a colossal megastructure around it. In Dyson Sphere, that’s precisely what you do. Orbiting a star, you deploy self-replicating robots to build massive sphere segments, capturing vast amounts of solar energy to secure victory.

Dyson Sphere is a game of straightforward rules, quick turns, and tough decisions. On your turn, you move your orbiter as many spaces as you wish, then take two different actions on your new space. The modular board ensures that each game presents a fresh set of actions to choose from. The game is also interactive – you’ll gain bonus actions when other players land on the same space as you. Furthermore, each time you construct a sphere segment, you add a new action to the board, keeping things dynamic.

Your primary resources are various self-replicating robots, which can be upgraded throughout the game to help you use your resources in unique ways. You begin with a space station, granting you a unique power, and as the game progresses, you can recruit crew members to gain additional special abilities.

You’ll also advance along tech tracks to boost your resource production and unlock new technologies. Plus, planets and asteroids orbiting the star can be explored for their valuable benefits.

Welcome to the final frontier of civilisation!
