Description

After millennia of shifting dominant civilizations, wars, and industrialization, Homeworld became a planet that couldn’t sustain its population. Off-world migration was the last hope.

Players explore space, placing new tiles and moving their Ship counter, placing their Robot counters on strategic locations. During a Scoring Round, Planets score Victory points, Nebulas garner Research tokens for new abilities. Asteroids and a presence on opponent-dominated planets garner Credits used to purchase additional Ship moves. After the last planet is completed, a final scoring takes place and the winner determined.
