Expansion or Extinction
Set in a future after Sol’s colonies survive the destruction of their home star, the game has 2–4 players rebuild interstellar societies and compete for control of nearby systems. Each player begins with technology that allows space travel, then explores surrounding systems and brings them into their sphere of influence. Control can be gained through peaceful Action Card play or military conquest. Core Worlds offer large populations but depleted resources, Outer Rim worlds provide abundant resources but fewer people, and Green Worlds balance both while defending their independence with capable fleets.
