Big Bang 13.7

Players act as creators arranging an expanding universe by placing hexagonal tiles that represent planets, stars, asteroids, comets and phenomena like supernovas, wormholes and black holes. Each turn a player places one of four available tiles adjacent to at least two existing tiles (including at least one celestial body) and matching those neighbors by type, color, or background. Hidden objective cards give each player a target body type and color, and points are scored by forming runs of three or more aligned celestial bodies that match those objectives. A cosmic clock advances as tiles are played; the game ends when all tiles are placed and players reveal objectives and total alignment points, with ties broken by who is earlier on the clock.
