Eminent Domain: Microcosm

Two rival space empires expand within a tiny galaxy in a head-to-head card game that plays in about 15–20 minutes. Players draft cards from a shared supply into their hand, then either play a card to resolve its effect or pick up their discard pile to refresh their hand. Cards grant actions like colonizing and attacking planets, researching technologies, and leveraging political abilities, and each card includes a scoring condition that contributes to the player’s influence total. Many effects can be boosted by revealing other cards with matching icons, creating engine-like combos as players aim to maximize scoring conditions and end the game with the most influence.
