Entropy

Players act as apprentice scientists in a final exam to manipulate entropy and construct simulated solar systems. Each turn a Scientist pawn moves 1–3 spaces around a central board to take actions from inner board spaces or outer action tiles. Players build systems by placing stars, planets, and asteroids, add biomes and upgrade a personal console to gain abilities, and play cards to seed and evolve life from microbes to more complex organisms. The game ends when two of six main objectives are completed, and scoring determines which apprentice earns promotion into the scientific caste.
