Chimera Station

Players genetically modify alien workers by attaching components—claws, tentacles, extra brains, leaves and more—to create custom crew with varied abilities. Modified workers are assigned to action spaces and modules to gather resources such as points, food, credits and living parts, and to activate station functions. Over the course of play participants build and expand a space station by claiming modules and perks, balancing short-term gains against long-term configuration strategies. Multiple races and numerous component combinations produce a wide range of tactical and strategic options as players adapt their crews to available actions.
