Nexum Galaxy

Players take command of one of four distinct civilization groups and expand across a modular set of planetary systems laid out from three-system clusters per player. Turns alternate between a Management phase (gain energy from controlled astros and build ships) and a Navigation phase (move ships between systems at varying costs, conquer astros, and resolve majority-based combat where defenders may be sacrificed). Stars and planets grant energy and special rules; two types of objectives win the game: a set number of combat victories or control of a required number of Technological Relics. Relics grant persistent abilities and can be combined and moved between planets. The game emphasizes resource and positional strategy with simple rules, asymmetric faction abilities, and variable setup that forces new plans each play.
