Planet Unknown

    

Online Games
Chris I.

6-player game of Planet Unknown from Adam's Apple Games, played on Sovranti. Envoy Herald: GM Chris I.

Level of Players Expected: Beginners Welcome

Our planet has run out of resources, and we are forced to move. We have discovered a series of planets and sent our rovers to test their environment with the hope of colonization. Our rovers have confirmed 1-6 viable colonization options. Planet Unknown is a competitive game for 1-6 players where players build and develop the best planet to win!

Each player has a goal of developing the best planet in Planet Unknown. Each round, each player will place one dual resourced tile on their planet, which is a polyomino shape. Each resource represents the infrastructure needed to support life on the planet. Every tile placement is important to cover your planet efficiently and also to build up your planet's engine. After placing the tile, players do two actions associated with the two infrastructure types on the tile. Be careful because some tile placements will trigger "meteors" that make planets harder to develop and prevent scoring points in its row AND column.

Planet Unknown innovates on the popular polyomino trend by allowing simultaneous yet strategic turn-based play via the Lazy S.U.S.A.N. space station in the center of the table.

So sorry I missed this!  Notification showed up at 9:12 pm for the 7:00pm event.  Going to check my notification settings and then send some feedback to Envoy to see if it's a recurring issue they've seen.

It is a recurring problem, and we're working on fixing it this weekend.
