Crafting the Cosmos
Players act as interstellar architects competing to build a galaxy one star at a time. Each round, players take turns in two phases: an energy phase where energy tokens are moved on a shared main board to activate controls and collect resources, and a craft phase where resources are spent to place stars, proto-life, nebulae, and other elements on a personal tableau. Actions include placement, scoring, playing energy cards for power cards, and adjusting sliders; players may perform these in any order during their craft phase. Shared end-phase steps and universal goals provide additional competition and endgame scoring opportunities.
