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.

This is a short 2 player card game that uses the theme from Eminent Domain. We sort of muddled our way through it, but the game didn't come with a proper rulebook, so we had a lot of rules questions and confusion through the entire game. There might be a good game here, for awhile I was too frustrated with it to give it another fair try. I revisited it after some time, and found it to be pretty unremarkable.
