Kepler-3042
Players take on the role of competing space programs in the year 3042, exploring, colonizing, exploiting, and terraforming planets across the galaxy. Each round players choose an action and a bonus, manage three resources—matter, energy, and antimatter—and decide whether to spend, produce, or permanently burn portions of those resources to enable stronger plays. Gameplay emphasizes long-term resource planning and strategic tradeoffs between one-time powerful moves and sustained production. The game resolves exploration, colony development, and technology advancement through these resource-driven choices and deterministic action selection.
