Last Light

Asymmetrical alien factions compete to harvest the final light from a dying white dwarf at the center of a rotating board. Players simultaneously choose action cards each turn and resolve them together, using exploration, resource mining, technology acquisition, and fleet commands to move toward the center and manipulate planets in 3D. The game emphasizes fast-paced 4X decisions under time pressure as players race to collect light tokens; the first faction to amass the required amount of light wins.
