Pentaurus: Black Hole (2018)

Overview

Pentaurus: Black Hole adds new components to Pentaurus Duel to get a completely different game. Collect the galaxy's pentanium before the black hole swallows it all, but watch out for enemy fleets.

The playable area is made up of 25 cards in a 5x5 matrix with the black hole card in the center. Players enter the area from one of its sides and travel jumping from planet to planet collecting pentanium and fighting competing factions before the 10th turn when the black hole swallows the planets and the spaceships around it.

The game is designed for 2-5 players, who will explore the galaxy Pentaurus fighting to get the required pentanium before time runs out. Each player adopts a race with its special characteristics. There are several game modes:

Pentaurus Black Hole: standard mode. Pentaurus Star: beginner mode. Pentaurus Black Hole solitaire mode: challenges an artificial intelligence.

Pentaurus: Black Hole is a limited edition (50 units) expansion, handmade in Amphora Games facilities, which is not sold in stores and is only available on the official website and at few festivals.
