Exoplanet (2023)

Overview

Compete with each other in exploring a newly discovered planet, searching for building materials and mining energy bricks and metal. Your goal is to contribute as much as possible to building a city. Along the way, you'll discover new species, build domes and solar panels and face sabotage, tornadoes and repeated power outages.

In Exoplanet, players try to score victory points by exploring the planet with their team and delivering metal tokens to the city tile. This requires energy, which you can get from energy bricks or generate with solar panels. Humans can reproduce by building domes that they can live in. Drawing action cards can provide additional benefits and allow you to stay ahead of the competition. You can also use them to discover new species, which give you extra victory points. Each building gives you more victory points. Once all available spaces on the city tile are occupied, the game ends immediately. The player with the most points wins.

In your turn, you have access to 5 action points, which you can use in different ways. For example, you can move your scouts, who may discover new terrain or pick up building materials. You can also choose to research the value of metal tokens or draw action cards. After spending your action points, you may build if you meet its conditions. Finally, you collect energy with scouts at solar panels. That energy is needed to deliver metal tokens to the central tile, with which you can eventually earn the most points and win the game!
