Solar 175

Players command rival corporations in a dystopian, sci‑fi solar system, making ethical and strategic choices as the shared narrative evolves. The game combines bag‑building, area control and worker placement: players draw workers from personalized embossed bags, assign them to jobs on double‑layer player boards, then spend turns activating those jobs to take actions across the system. Influence points determine the winner and are earned through multiple paths — constructing megastructures, influencing elections, and establishing outposts — with play ending when a player completes their network of outposts and triggers the election phase. A legacy campaign introduces evolving rules and endgame scoring that vary based on player interaction; when the campaign finishes, the system remains fully playable with persistent changes.
