Two alien species compete to control five planets in a compact, head-to-head science fiction game. Each player commands a species with a unique power, manages a pool of twenty ships, and contests planets by sending ships into duels that determine control. Gameplay revolves around drawing and resolving Destiny cards (Discovery, Event, and Refresh), secretly choosing how many ships to commit, playing tactic and encounter cards, and using envoys or reinforcements. Resolution moves ships, grants or removes control, and directs which Destiny deck is drawn next. Victory goes to the first player who maintains control of five planets.
