Description

The race is on to explore the newly discovered Expanse. Move between the stars using powerful drives, reality altering engines, and anomalies that benefit you and hinder your competitors.

With a wide variety of astronomical phenomenon in improbably close proximity, prestigious research institutions with deep pockets are clamoring to be the first to know the most about the Expanse. New, highly experimental ships have been commissioned that can use what they find along the way to quickly move across the void. Can you pilot one to victory?

The Expanse is laid out differently every time you play*, and each phenomenon yields its own research bonus when explored. Players play cards drawn from a common deck to move their ships, create and manipulate anomalies, and explore phenomena as they race to victory.

* 362,880 possible combinations

Note: To fit in the box and meet Game Crafter specifications, this version comes with a card that can be cut up to create the player pieces. If you wish, there are also Rocket Pawns available from the Game Crafter store that you can purchase at the same time as this game to use in place of the card pieces: Game Pieces and Board Game Parts [www.thegamecrafter.com] (The game uses Black, Red, Blue, and Green, but feel free to choose whatever colors you like)
